Litigants pay for long winded arguments, lengthy judgments, rues SC
The Supreme Court on Thursday said that there should be a drastic change in the long-winded manner in which cases are conducted in courts in order to deal with the expected surge in litigation post-COVID. Voluminous case records, never-ending oral arguments by lawyers and verbose judgments would not just do, a three-judge Bench led by Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul said in a postscript to a judgment. Succinctly framed written synopsis of the case served in advance, short oral submissions by lawyers and “crisp, clear and precise judgments” legible to the common man should be the future of litigation in courts.More Related News
