| New Delhi, July 18: Judges in the Supreme Court have often expressed concern over the state of affairs in the appellate judiciary, particularly the high courts. The other day Justice G.S. Singhvi lamented that a number of lawyers and even some high court judges did not know the basic concepts of law.
Justice Singhvi made this observation while assailing a high court for granting stay in a case. It was on his direction that Solicitor General Gopal Subramaniam collected facts to prove that high courts were indiscriminately granting stays in cases involving murder, rape, dacoity and kidnapping.
Little wonder why Justice Singhvi, through tongue in cheek remarks, singled out the Punjab and Haryana High Court for often passing verbal orders. He said the shortest order would be "dismissed", a longer one would be "heard and dismissed" and the longest would be "heard on merit and dismissed". (IANS) |
