He graduated from Government Arts College, Rajamundry and studied law at Madras Law College. He practiced at the Madras high Court from 1926 and became Judge, Madras High Court from March 1948 &#8211; July 1954 later on becoming Chief Justice, Andhra High Court, Guntur from 5-07-1954 till 31-10- 1956. He became the 1<sup>st<\/sup> Chief Justice of Andhra Pradesh High Court on 01-11-1956 and became Judge, Supreme Court on 31-01-1958. He went on to become the 9<sup>th<\/sup> Chief Justice of India on 30-06-1966. He was indeed first Judge of the free India to be judicially recognised and openly declared as a fearless defender and upholder of our fundamental rights.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Justice B.P. Jeevan Reddy on the centenary celebrations of Chief Justice K. Subba had remembered him as a man of strict discipline and high learning who was a great Judge and has left his deep imprint on the development of constitutional law in India. He further mentioned that he was an original thinker and a staunch proponent of fundamental rights in our Constitution. Fundamental rights were an article of faith with him, he was a man of strong convictions, he came to be known as a dissenting Judge in his early years in the Supreme Court; indeed some of his greatest judgments were his dissenting opinions.<strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">[1]<\/span><\/strong><a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The renowned historian and famous author, V.D. Mahajan had mentioned him as \u2018defender of liberties\u2019 in his book titled \u201cChief Justice K. Subba Rao: Defender of Liberties\u201d and displayed the power of dissent in some of his notable judgments:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><em>Basheshar Nath\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0<em>CIT <\/em>[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/50wNbM0j\">AIR 1959 SC 149<\/a>] where he had opined that\u00a0 the entire Part III \u2014 and not merely Article 14 \u2014 has been conceived in public interest and that all of them confer rights upon citizens holding that no citizen can waive any of his fundamental rights \u2014 to wit, no citizen can agree to be discriminated.<\/li>\n<li><em>S.M.

State of U.P. <\/em>[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/FD3qAsEl\">AIR 1963 SC 1295<\/a>] pertaining to surveillance by the police and domiciliary visits. In his\u00a0dissenting judgment, he widened the scope of personal liberty and\u00a0remarked, writing as he was in 1963 \u2013 \u201cIt is true our constitution does not expressly\u00a0declare a right to privacy as a fundamental right, but the said right is an essential\u00a0ingredient of personal liberty.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The most famous judgment given by him being <em>Golak Nath\u00a0<\/em>v.\u00a0<em>State of Punjab <\/em>[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/9U0MNcW6\">AIR 1967 SC 1643<\/a>] where he equated Fundamental Rights with Natural Rights and reckoned them as\u00a0<em>\u201cthe primordial rights necessary for the development of human personality.\u201d<\/em> The Supreme Court with the largest bench that had ever sat on an issue till that time had arrived at a 6:5 majority. In order to check the colourable exercise of power that the Parliament was exercising through invoking Article 368 by passing numerous legislation that had in one pretext or another violated populous Fundamental Rights and to save Democracy from autocratic actions of Parliament, the majority held that Parliament could not amend Fundamental Rights. He retired on 11-04-1967 and died 06-05-1976. He was a part of the Supreme Court for about 10 years but not just to follow but mainly to change and shape the development of the Constitutional law of the country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Did you know? <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Judge, Supreme Court J.

\u00a0sought illegal gratification in a property tax assessment matter from then CJI, upon asking how daring he was to demand bribe from the CJI, the employee retorted as to why he should be worried,
