Justice Nanabhai Haridas LL.B., Pledger was first Indian Justice of the Bombay High Court during 1883–1889.

Between 1873 and 1884, Nanabhai acted as temporary Judge nine times. However another pleader Jagannath Wassudewji, who was in subordinate judicial service, was appointed Acting Judge before him.

He held the office of Judge till his death in 1889. He had great knowledge of Hindu law; and some of his judgements are among the earliest expositions of important principles of Hindu Law.

During his life he was a Brahmin and later he adopted Pushtimarg as a follower of fifth house of shuddhadvaita.
