In this episode of the Perspective Prog. Based on ‘How to write a Judgement’. Judgment writing is a critical instrument in fostering the rule of law and in curbing rule by the law…That was the assertion made by the Supreme Court on Thursday, while delivering a judgement on how to write a judgement. A bench of Justices DY Chandrachud and AS Bopanna noted that the purpose of judicial writing is not to confuse or confound the reader behind the veneer of complex language, because it speaks to the present and to the future in settling crucial issues of law, besides providing a platform for societal dialogue. Setting down guidelines for judicial writing, the two-judge bench underlined that the confidence in the judicial process is predicated on the trust which its written word generates. If the meaning of the written word is lost in language, the ability of the judge to retain the trust of the reader is severely eroded…So how can courts and tribunals provide an easy-to-understand analysis of the issues of law and fact in their verdicts? How can judges ensure lucidity in writing judgements? How can judgements be more structured? These are aspects on which the apex court has given directions.
