Justice Nagarjun began his legal career in 1986, practicing in civil, criminal, and revenue courts. His judicial journey saw him rise through the ranks, becoming a Junior Civil Judge in 1991, Senior Civil Judge in 2004, and later a District Judge in 2010.

He served in key judicial positions across Kamareddy, Nizamabad, and Ranga Reddy, before taking on administrative roles such as Registrar General of the High Court and being elevated to the High Court of Telangana in 2022.
