			==Career==
			{{BLP unreferenced section\|date=December 2022}}
			He was born on 21 October 1958 at [[Mysore]]. He was educated in [[Bangalore]] and [[Gwalior]]. He did his schooling from the Central School, [[Faridabad]]. He did [[Bachelor of Arts]] with honors in English literature from [[Hindu College, Delhi]] in 1979. He obtained his [[Bachelor of Laws]] degree from Campus Law Centre, [[Delhi University]] in 1982. In the same year, he was enrolled with Delhi Bar Council. He practiced before [[Delhi High Court]] and [[Supreme Court of India]]. He was elevated as an additional judge of [[Delhi High Court]] on 16 July 2004 and made permanent judge on 20 February 2006.<ref name=":0" /> He was elevated as chief justice of [[Rajasthan High Court]] on 5 May 2019.<ref name=":0" /> He was elevated as a judge of [[Supreme Court of India]] on 23 September 2019.<ref name=":0" /> Over the course of his Supreme Court tenure, Bhat authored 142 judgments.<ref>{{Cite web \|title=Justice S. Ravindra Bhat authored an average of 35.5 judgements a year \|url=https://www.scobserver.in/journal/justice-s-ravindra-bhat-authored-an-average-of-35-5-judgements-a-year/ \|access-date=2024-09-30 \|website=Supreme Court Observer \|language=en-US}}</ref>

			==Notable judgements==
			In his tenure as a judge of the Delhi High Court, Bhat delivered some landmark judgements, particularly in the field of IPR, drug regulation and right to information. In Roche v Cipla, a request for an interim injunction by Roche was denied by Justice Bhat on the ground of public interest. The matter pertained to a claim of patent infringement by Roche against generic drug manufacturer Cipla. Going against the entrenched norm of routinely awarding interim injunctions in such matters, Justice Bhat refused injunction on the ground that such interference may lead to the public’s interest getting affected due to the huge price differential between Roche’s and Cipla’s drugs.{{citation needed\|date=November 2022}}

			Another significant judgment from his stable is CPIO v Subhash Chandra Agarwal in which he held that the office of the Chief Justice of India is amenable to the provisions of the Right to Information Act. This matter was appealed to the Supreme Court, which ultimately agreed with Bhat’s High Court judgment, subject to certain conditions.<ref name=":0">{{cite web \|url=https://www.scobserver.in/judges/shripathi-ravindra-bhat/ \|title=Justice S Ravindra Bhat Profile \|website=[[Supreme Court Observer]] }}</ref>

			Bhat was also part of the bench which upheld the constitutionality of the 2018 amendment to SC-ST(Prevention of Atrocities)Act, 1989. On February 10, 2020, the Court formally upheld the constitutionality of the 2018 Amendment. Justice Arun Mishra wrote the majority on behalf of himself and Justice Vineet Saran. Justice S.R. Bhat wrote a concurring opinion.<ref>{{cite web \|url= https://www.scobserver.in/cases/prithvi-raj-chauhan-union-of-india-legality-of-sc-st-act-amendment-case-background/\|title=Legality of SC/ST Act Amendment\|website=[[Supreme Court Observer]] }}</ref>
