Career

Raman started practising as a lawyer in 1985 [1] and founded the law firm Raman and Associates on the death of his father in 1991. [2]

Raman practised in the Madras High Court and the Supreme Court of India [2] and was, in September 2004, designated a senior advocate of the Madras High Court. [1] On 11 June 2006, Raman was appointed Additional Advocate-General in place of R. Mutthukumaraswamy who had resigned. [3]

Advocate-General of Tamil Nadu (2009-11 ; 2024-)

Raman succeeded G. Masilamani to become the 11th Advocate-General of Tamil Nadu on 29 July 2009. [1] [2] In May 2011, he was replaced by A. Navaneethakrishnan.

On 12 January 2024, he was once again appointed to the post, replacing R. Shunmugasundaram. [4]

Controversies

When senior politician Abhishek Manu Singhvi of the Indian National Congress withdrew from appearing on behalf of Megha Distributors, a lottery promotion agency challenging a lottery ban imposed by the Government of Kerala due to criticism from the Kerala state unit of the party, Raman took over the case. [5] This action was severely criticized by the state cabinet and Chief Minister of Kerala V. S. Achuthanandan as well as senior Congress politician and Oommen Chandy. [5] Eventually, at the advice of M. Karunanidhi, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Raman offered to withdraw from the case. [6]
