| New Delhi, Aug 15: There is one field where India could be assured a Commonwealth Games medal - erroenous judgements, many caused by poor translation. Or so believe some honourable judges of the Supreme Court.
Trial court proceedings usually take place in the language of the region and these are translated into English at the high court level. But the other day the apex court bench of Justice G.S. Singhvi and Justice A.K. Ganguly pointed out that the impugned judgment of a high court suffered from errors of translation of trial court proceedings.
Justice Ganguly felt the translation was "mischievous". However, Justice Singhvi had a different way of slamming it. He said the countries which are participating in the Commonwealth Games should be asked to bring along the judgments of their courts.
He said India would at least win one gold medal for having judgments with the highest number of mistakes.
Justice Singhvi then pulled up the lawyer for misleading the court and holding back the truth. (IANS) |
