We’re accustomed to seeing lawyers and judges wearing black jackets, gowns and white judicial bands in the courtroom. Which is why it was surprising to see the senior-most judge of the Supreme Court i.e. Chief Justice of India Sharad Arvind Bobde pictured on a Harley Davidson in his hometown Nagpur.
The Times of India reports that the superbike is a limited edition CVO 2020. Take a look.

According to India Today, the superbike does not belong to CJI SA Bobde, he was just seen trying it out.
Some people on Twitter compared him to Ghost Rider and Street Hawk while others pointed out that he was not wearing a face mask even though the country is in the midst of a pandemic.
He is like the Ghost Rider dispensing justice! 😁

We loved seeing the CJI’s cool avatar. Hopefully, we will also see speedy justice before his retirement in April 2021.
