“Sharad is the name of a season (Sharad Rutu) which means new essence, new creation. Chief Justice of India Sharad Bobde will provide new essence to justice delivering system,” were the words by Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray while congratulating Justice Sharad Bobde on his elevation as Chief Justice of India. He moved the resolution of congratulation in the State Assembly on Monday. Thackeray said, “It is a sheer coincidence as Justice Bobde hails from Nagpur and in our first session being held in the city, the proposal of his congratulations is moved. No matter how much world praises you, the appreciation by our parents is supreme.
 
Justice Bobde is being congratulated by this House in his hometown.” Praising his love for art, literature, music, Thackeray said, “He is known for his all round personality and India got such a man as Chief Justice of India is a great thing.” Thackeray pointed out about one more quality of Justice Bobde wherein he is known for providing justice to the farmers.
 
“We are discussing the farmer issue but Justice Bobde gave that issue a legal shape,” said Thackeray. Calling Bobde family an institution of legal profession of which Justice Bobde is member of third generation, Devendra Fadnavis, Leader of Opposition commented, “Justice Bobde, a true Maharashtrian, our own Marathi man gave us a proud feeling when he was adorned as Chief Justice of India.” Making it clear that though Justice Bobde was associated with Nagpur, Fadnavis said, “Justice Bobde born and brought up in Nagpur but basically this family hails from Chandrapur. His father Adv Arvind Bobde occupied post of Advocate General of Maharashtra twice.”
 
Elaborating Justice Bobde’s affection and attachment towards the cause of farmers, Fadnavis explained, “Justice Bobde in lifetime never charged a single penny to any farmer while appearing for them in Court. When Sharad Joshi, ran the loan waiver movement, the legal side was looked after by Justice Bobde.” Informing about the versatility of Justice Bobde, Fadnavis said, “Justice Bobde is a graduate of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar College of Law knows many languages, he is a fantastic Tennis player, he is a Sanskrit scholar too. When I was a student of law, I used to attend courts just to see people like Justice Bobde, Adv Manohar, Adv Madkholkar arguing.” Fadnavis brought to the notice of House the connection of Bobde family to Swatantryaveer Savarkar when the later stayed at the house of this family of legal luminary.
