==Controversy==<br />
''[[The Economic Times]]'' reported in March 2017 that Justice Ramesh was upset over being denied a promotion to the [[Supreme Court of India]] in favour of Justice S. Abdul Nazeer. 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 group|minority]] in the Supreme Court by recommending the name of a judge, who is junior to me, is certainly not correct." Justice Ramesh also said, "I request lordships to deny me the honour of becoming the chief justice of Madras High Court." [[Justice Indira Banerjee]] of the [[High Court of Delhi]] was subsequently appointed in his place.<ref name="et">{{Cite news |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/upset-over-his-juniors-elevation-karnataka-judge-says-no-to-madras-hc-offer/articleshow/57438168.cms |title=Upset over his junior’s elevation, Karnataka Judge says no to Madras HC offer |last=Singh |first=Ajmer |date=2017-03-03 |work=[[The Economic Times]] |access-date=2017-11-30}}</ref><br />
