On Monday, the Supreme Court of India emphasized the importance of giving detailed reasons for decisions quickly. The Court criticized the increasing habit of judges announcing their decisions without explaining the reasons right away. It strongly suggested that judges should provide these reasons within two days, or at most five days, after announcing the decision. The Supreme Court of India has set a new rule that, courts must give written reasons for their decisions within five days after announcing the decisions. This step is to make sure that people understand why a court made a particular decision without having to wait too long. The matter regarding the Supreme Court’s directive to set a 5- day limit for providing written reasons after a court’s decision is based on the case of “Ajay Singh v. State of Chhattisgarh”. In this case, the Supreme Court showed concern about how courts take time to give written explanations after announcing their decisions. The Court emphasized that such delays can cause confusion and prevent parties from seeking timely remedies, such as filing appeals or seeking further
legal action. Sometimes, courts announce their decisions but it take time to explain the reasons behind the decision. This delay can cause problems for the people involved, especially, if they want to challenge or appeal the decision. By setting a five-day limit, the Supreme Court wants to speed up the process and make sure everything is clear and transparent.
The goal is to improve the overall system, making it more efficient and fair. Legal experts believe that this change will help build trust in the courts and ensure that justice is delivered more quickly.
