Justice Ramana served on the Supreme Court for several years, the most notable of which was ending a year-long internet ban in Jammu and Kashmir in 2020, after the revocation of Article 370 of the Constitution of India, in August 2019. According to an ANI article, Justice Ramana lifted the indefinite internet ban in Jammu and Kashmir, citing that it was not only a breach of telecom laws but also of the Constitution’s guarantee of freedom of speech and expression. In another landmark decision, Justice Ramana had taken the office of the Chief Justice of India under the ambit of the Right to Information (RTI) Act, which was a big step forward for transparency.

A constitution bench led by him also dismissed the convicts’ remedial pleas in the December 2012 gang rape and murder case, paving the way for capital punishment.
