Judgment of Court

AI Assist

Summary

Judgment must be pronounced in open court in the manner required by law, and the presiding officer must sign it. The requirement makes the decision public and gives it an official authentication.

Example

Priya brings a small claim against her neighbour. After the hearing the court announces its decision aloud in open court and the presiding officer signs the judgment. Because of that, everyone present knows the outcome and the order carries an official signature.

Bare Act

Enacted text

The Court shall deliver its judgment in terms of section 293 in the open Court and the same shall be signed by the presiding officer of the Court.
