Pattabhi Sundar Raman (born 7 November 1960) is an Indian Senior Advocate who is the incumbent Advocate-General of Tamil Nadu. He is the younger son of V. P. Raman, who himself was a former Advocate-General of the State.
Early life and education[edit | edit source]
Pattabhi Sundar Raman was born on 7 November 1960 in present-day Chennai, Tamil Nadu. His father V. P. Raman served as the third Advocate-General of Tamil Nadu during 1977-79, and was also a politician from the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK).[1][2] Sundar Raman's elder brother is the stage and television actor Mohan Raman.[citation needed]
Sundar Raman did his schooling in Vidya Mandir, Chennai and graduated in commerce from Loyola College, Chennai.[1] Later, he obtained his law degree from the Madras Law College.[1][2]
Career[edit | edit source]
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-)[edit | edit source]
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[edit | edit source]
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]
