The 64-year-old Justice Bobde has often talked his love for motorcycles and said he once had a Bullet, which is manufactured by Royal Enfield.

Justice Bobde had suffered a broken ankle after an accident while test driving a high-end Harley Davidson bike last year. The accident had kept him away from court duties as well as the Supreme Court Collegium meetings for some time.

Reports said the Harley Davidson cruiser bike does not belong to CJI Bobde.

Some users praised his “swag level” for living a life and called him a Knight Rider

Some also pointed out that the chief justice of India was not hearing a helmet and a mask during the coronavirus pandemic.
