Rider of Justice: Twitter Reacts To CJI Bobde on Harley Bike

Netizens can’t get enough of the CJI on a Harley Bike

As a kid, remember bumping into your teacher outside of your school premises and being stunned at spotting them in a different avatar. They wouldn’t be dressed in their usual professional attire and it was mildly disorienting always. Well, something like that happened on Twitter after a photo of Chief Justice of India SA Bobde on a Harley Davidson bike recently went viral.

The photo was posted by the official Bar & Bench Twitter account. CJI Bobde can be seen enjoying his Harley Davidson. He is surrounded by people.

“Chief Justice of India SA Bobde trying out Harley Davidson. (Harley Davidson Limited edition CVO 2020) @harleydavidson #SupremeCourt”

Take a look:

Another user said that the CJI could be a part of a bike gang called “Riders of Justice.”

Imagine the chief justice being a part of a bike gang named 'riders for justice' https://t.co/Gxj3ii33bz

This picture of the CJI SA Bobde on a #harleydavidson seems to be a deliberate leak by the motorcycle company.
Sources say, CJI was just checking out the bike & he did not even drive the bike
Moreover, CJI did not even know who the bike belonged to pic.twitter.com/gftNu2kS0B

John Abraham? Nope. It’s Justice Bobde!

No that’s not John Abraham (no offence meant to the actor) it’s the Chief Justice of India, Justice Bobde.

Wondering if comments mocking him on social media will be seen as ‘contempt of court’ https://t.co/pPDhGP2au6
