Judgement writing is a distinct art where the judge expresses his legal reasoning for the ruling in the most convincing way possible. While the central aim of a judgement is to deliver justice, the key purpose of putting it down on record is to explain the decision to the parties and the public and to an appeal court if need be, besides facilitating reference when it acts as a precedent. But often legalese and grandiloquence in composing judgements keeps them beyond the comprehension of the ordinary citizen. So there is some room for more clarity.
Given below are nine snippets from judgements passed by Indian courts that will leave you bewildered.
