The Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud on Wednesday has termed retiring Supreme Court judge Justice Aniruddha Bose a true “bhadralok” (gentleman) who was a hardworking & “compassionate” judge with a desire to do justice to the last person in the line.

Justice Bose, who got elevated as a judge of the Supreme Court on May 24, 2019, is demitting office on April 10.

He is set to join as director of the National Judicial Academy in Bhopal.

According to the top court practices, Justice Bose, the 5th senior most judge of the apex court, was part of the ceremonial bench headed by the CJI on his last day in the office.

Terming Justice Bose as a friend and a man of many virtues, the CJI stated, “My learned brother Justice Aniruddha is well read, hardworking, extraordinarily equitable, then to the core a compassionate person and a judge who has got an unending source of desire to do justice to the last person in the line.”

The CJI stated that Justice Bose was eminently suitable to head the National Judicial Academy in Bhopal and the judges were unanimous in his support that there could be no better person to fill that role than “our academician, jurist, Justice Bose”.

Justice Chandrachud stated, “We are going to really miss Justice Bose as I said yesterday in my speech in the SCBA function that he reflects a true Bengali ‘Bhadralok’ (gentleman).”

He stated in his closing remarks, “It has been an honour for us to serve in a court where Justice Bose served and we wish you all the best in your new assignment, which we hope you will take over very shortly.”

Justice Bose thanked the bar and the judges for their support.

Furthermore, Justice Bose said, “What I have learned in these five years (as SC judge) is more than the aggregate of what I had learned in my earlier 60 years.”

Earlier on Tuesday, the Supreme Court Bar Association organized a function to bid farewell to Justice Bose.

Born on April 11, 1959, Bose passed his higher secondary from St Lawrence High School, Kolkata and completed his LLB from Surendranath Law College. After his enrolment, Bose started practice on constitutional, civil and intellectual property matters in the Calcutta High Court in 1985.

He was made a permanent judge of the Calcutta High Court in January 2004, and on August 11, 2018, he was elevated as the Chief Justice of Jharkhand High Court.
