The Supreme Court again criticized late uploading of reasoned orders by the High Courts.
It is not completely alien to the system where reasoned orders are sometimes to be delivered later on, but that does not mean that such period of later-on can be unending, the bench of Vikram Nath and Ahsanuddin Amanullah observed.
In this case, the Bombay High Court in an order passed on 25 July 2023 rejected revision petitions. The order stated that the reasons will be recorded separately.
In the SLP filed against this order, the petitioner contended that the reasons to be recorded separately have still not been uploaded. In this context, the court observed:
The court therefore directed the Registrar General of the High Court to file a status report in this regard.
