"Pass an order which we can understand", SC sets aside Bombay HC order

The Supreme Court on Thursday asked the Bombay high court to pass an order which the bench 'can understand' while setting aside the high court’s previous order in a case.

New Delhi:The Supreme Court has set aside an order of Bombay High Court after it failed to understand it and has asked the Bombay High Court to pass an order which is comprehensible and can be understood by the Court.

"On perusal of the impugned order, we find it is unintelligible and we could not decipher what has been decided by the High Court. We, accordingly, set aside the order and remit the matter to the High Court. We request the High Court to pass an order which we can understand. The appeal is disposed of," read the SC order.

The order related to a case was pronounced by the Aurangabad Bench of the Bombay High Court on August 19 in a case relating to an individual petitioner versus the State of Maharashtra

Earlier in 2017, because of the convoluted English used in the judgment, the Supreme Court Bench of Justices Madan B Lokur and Deepak Gupta had set aside a judgment of the Himachal Pradesh High Court.
