SC Recalls Difficulty Deciphering Retired Judge's Verdicts
The Supreme Court talked about how hard it was to understand the decisions made by a judge from the Punjab and Haryana High Court who recently retired.
The Chief Justice of India and other judges mentioned they had trouble figuring out what the judge's rulings meant, describing the language used as confusing.
They also noted that every decision of this judge that was challenged in the Supreme Court was overturned.
The judges ultimately sent a case back to the High Court because the original reasoning was too unclear.
Supreme Court judges discussed the difficulty in understanding a retired Punjab & Haryana HC judge's verdicts.
Chief Justice of India B R Gavai led the bench that made the comments on Friday.
The comments were made during the hearing of an appeal.
The Supreme Court struggled with the 'incomprehensible language and reasoning' of the judge's verdicts.
