The Supreme Court has stayed the Rajasthan High Court’s order that criticised a POCSO court judge for using a “cut, copy, paste” method in her judgment and directed training. Notice has been issued to the State and further action has been halted for now.
On Tuesday( 23rd April), Justice Gautam Patel of the Bombay High Court emphasized the importance of judges seeking quick solutions instead of solely focusing on drafting judgments. In a farewell event, he stated that not every issue requires a formal judgment and that intervention is essential for speedy problem resolution. Justice Patel also shared plans for retirement, expressing disinterest in spending an entire day in arbitrations and highlighting the need to educate law students on fundamental legal subjects due to recent observations with court clerks.
