										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Justice R.V. Raveendran has gone a long way between failing his first-year law test to now being chosen by the Supreme Court to supervise the committee investigating the Pegasus snooping accusations, and he remains as busy today as he was when he was an apex court judge.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A three-member technical team led by the former Supreme Court justice would conduct a &#8220;thorough investigation&#8221; into the situation. Experts in cyber security, digital forensics, networks, and hardware make up this committee.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Justice Raju Varadarajulu Raveendran began his legal career in March 1968 and was nominated to the Karnataka High Court as a permanent judge in February 1993. In July 2004, he was named Chief Justice of the Madhya Pradesh High Court.</p>
