Statement on the Passing of retired Justice Amrika Tiwary-Reddy

Statement on the Passing of retired Justice Amrika Tiwary-Reddy

Her Excellency Christine Carla Kangaloo O.R.T.T., President of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, is deeply saddened by the death of retired Judge of the High Court, Justice Amrika Tiwary-Reddy.

Justice Tiwary-Reddy, served as a Senator in the National Alliance for Reconstruction (NAR) government and acted as Attorney General on several occasions (1989-91), becoming the first woman to do so. She also served as a member of the Cabinet-appointed Public Service Review Task Force and of the Council of the Bar Association of Trinidad and Tobago (1982-86).

Justice Tiwary-Reddy was admitted to the Bar in England in 1968 and in Trinidad and Tobago the following year. She was appointed a Puisne Judge in 1999, and by her retirement in 2011 she was the most senior female Judge on the High Court bench.

Perhaps most notable on her list of accolades was her appointment, at the age of 18, as the first principal of Lakshmi Girls’ Hindu College.

In 2012, Justice Tiwary-Reddy received the Chaconia Medal GOLD, the nation’s second highest award, in recognition of her years of distinguished service to Trinidad and Tobago in the sphere of Law.

The Office of the President offers sincere condolences to the family and friends of Justice (Retired) Amrika Tiwary-Reddy.

May she rest in peace.
