[1][2] Justice Ramesh enrolled as an advocate in 1982 and began his practice at Karnataka High Court.
In protest, he wrote to the then Chief Justice of India Justice Jagdish Singh Khehar stating that "My supersession on ground of giving representation to a minority in the Supreme Court by recommending the name of a judge, who is junior to me, is certainly not correct."
Justice Indira Banerjee of the High Court of Delhi was subsequently appointed in his place.
