Raju Varadarajulu Raveendran also known as R. V. Raveendran (born 15 October 1946) is a former judge of the Supreme Court of India. On 13 October 2011, a Supreme Court bench headed by Raveendran, inexplicably, nearly halved the sum of compensation awarded to victims and families of the deceased in the Uphaar Cinema fire by the [Delhi High Vourt], and slashed punitive damages to be paid by cinema owners, the Ansal brothers, from ₹2.5 crore (equivalent to ₹4.4 crore or US$550,000 in 2020) to ₹25 lakh (equivalent to ₹44 lakh or US$55,000 in 2020). Raveendran retired the next day, 14 October 2011, upon reaching superannuation. On 27 October 2021, the Supreme Court of India appointed Raveendran to supervise a three-member committee that will examine the allegations of unauthorised surveillance using Israeli spyware Pegasus.
