New Delhi: Supreme Court Registrar Prasanna Kumar Suryadevara, who was appointed in the rank of Additional Registrar during the tenure of former Chief Justice of India N V Ramana, has been repatriated to the All India Radio, sources said on Saturday.

Suryadevara, who was earlier a joint director at Prasar Bharati, was handling media related work in the CJI’s office during Justice Ramana’s tenure as the head of the judiciary.
