Wakode, identified as the son of the CJI’s cousin, is considered a nephew of Justice Gavai. However, the CJI’s brother, Dr Rajendra Gavai, told India Today that Wakode should be regarded as a “distant relative.”
Wakode completed his schooling under the Maharashtra board, securing distinction in Class 12 from the Amravati division in 1996. He went on to pursue science, earning a gold medal in MSc in 2001. He later obtained an LLB degree from Amravati University in 2004, passing with 60.34 per cent marks.

Meanwhile, at the next NLSIU/NALSAR convocation: "You first-generation NLU lawyers are too elitist. We need Hindi LLB degrees at NLUs. We also need you to stop joining corporate law firms or heading to foreign countries for an LLM".
