&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life==&lt;br /&gt;

After obtaining his Licence en droit (LL.B.).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;oib-france.com&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.oib-france.com/a-propos-de-david-annoussamy/ |title=A propos de David Annoussamy &amp;amp;#124; Observatoire International du Bonheur |website=Oib-france.com |access-date=2016-12-14}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; he proceeded to France and got admitted at the University of Montpellier,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.umontpellier.fr/en/ |title=Université de Montpellier |website=Umontpellier.fr |date=2014-06-20 |access-date=2016-12-14}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; where he obtained a “ License-ès lettres”&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;oib-france.com&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; in 1953 and a doctorate in law in 1955. He then spent 3 months in London and another three months in Geneva doing research. He completed his law studies by obtaining a LL.D degree with distinction and was awarded the prize of the year for his research work.&lt;br /&gt;
Along with research in law he studied French literature and pedagogy and obtained the degree of M.A.L.T.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Career==&lt;br /&gt;
On his return to Puducherry he was assigned several big responsibilities by the Indian government which by then had recovered the French Establishments. He founded the Pedagogic Centre, the Law College, the English Adult Course and the Interpreters course for which he was the Director at their early stage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His teaching activities are diverse: Pedagogy, Interpretation, Law in the French Law School, Pondicherry Law College and National Law School of Bangalore. As an adviser to the Director of the Public Instruction he planned and supervised the smooth and progressive conversion of schools of the erstwhile French Establishments from the French pattern to the Indian pattern without any harm to the pupils and the teachers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His judicial activities which lasted 40 years saw him in different positions. Under the French System, he was the Presiding officer of the Labour Court and then a judge of the Superior Court of Appeal. Under the Indian system he was District and Sessions&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.lawfinderlive.com/jlink.aspx?q=89762&amp;amp;p=1&amp;amp;pos=9&amp;amp;qType=6&amp;amp;tidp=187781&amp;amp;tid=389507 |title=Law Finder Doc Id - 389507 |website=Lawfinderlive.com |date=1990-11-06 |access-date=2016-12-14}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Judge and the head of several specialised Tribunals.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;allindiajudges.org&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://allindiajudges.org/Judgment/FNJPC13.7.htm |title=13 |website=Allindiajudges.org |date=1998-12-13 |access-date=2016-12-14}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He has the distinction of having been a judge in various capacities for 32 years in his home town without any sort of complaint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the Transfer he was instrumental for the smooth transition from the French judicial system to the Indian one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was elevated to the High Court of Tamil Nadu. After retirement he served as Vice chairman of the Central Administrative Tribunal and Chairman of the State Commission for Consumer Disputes Redressal.&lt;br /&gt;
