Neethipathi is a 1983 Indian Tamil-language legal drama film directed by R. Krishnamoorthy and produced by Suresh Balaji.
The story revolves around Rajasekar, a skilled prosecutor who faces professional rivalry from defense attorney Sattanathan. Despite this animosity, Rajasekar is appointed as a judge. He sentences Kalidas' brother Jagan to life imprisonment after successfully prosecuting Kalidas' twin brother Ranjith earlier in the film.
This event fuels the resentment between Kalidas and Rajasekar (now a judge), leading them to plot his downfall. The film stars Sivaji Ganesan as Rajasekar and K.R. Vijaya, with Thyagu being another key character involved with Kalidas.
The film is a remake of the 1982 Telugu film Justice Chowdary and was released on 26 January 1983.
