Does Oral Pronouncement Of Judgement Amount To Case Disposal?: Supreme Court To Decide

Live Law  

The Supreme Court on Wednesday questioned the legal implications of oral pronouncement of judgments in court and whether such oral pronouncement itself amounts to a final disposal of the case. “Whether such oral pronouncement that petition is allowed, whether it will really amount to disposal or not, that issue we have doubt whether you will be able to argue that, but it has to be gone into”, Justice Oka said to Senior Advocate Sidharth Luthra, who said that he will address the Court on this issue. A bench of Justice Abhay Oka and Justice Manmohan raised this question while hearing the plea of former Director General of Police Jaffar Sait, challenging the Madras High Court's decision to rehear his petition for quashing a money laundering case, despite having earlier allowed the petition. On October 4, the Supreme Court stated that it would lay down the law on whether a High Court could recall an order pronounced in court and rehear the case. Justice Oka observed that the peculiar situation in the present case meant that Sait's petition was allowed by the HC without reasons, rendering the order unsustainable.
