Moodbidri: In a political turn that has caught many by surprise, reports suggest that Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar has tendered his resignation, though the reasons remain undisclosed. As speculation intensifies around his possible replacement, one name gaining traction is that of Justice S. Abdul Nazeer, the current Governor of Andhra Pradesh.
Justice Nazeer, a retired Supreme Court judge, hails from Moodbidri in Karnataka. His early education and legal beginnings trace back to this small town, where he laid the foundation for a distinguished career in law and public service.
Known for his integrity and legal acumen, Justice Nazeer served on the Supreme Court bench that delivered several landmark judgments. Since retiring from the judiciary, he has taken on the role of Andhra Pradesh’s Governor and continued to be active in public affairs.
If appointed, he would be the first person from Moodbidri—and among the few from Karnataka—to hold the high constitutional office of Vice President of India. His elevation would be a matter of immense pride for the people of Moodbidri and the entire state, highlighting the region’s contribution to national leadership.
The official confirmation is awaited, but the possibility of his nomination has already sparked a wave of anticipation and celebration locally.
