In a significant development, the Supreme Court on Friday directed all high courts to pronounce judgement within 3 months of reserving order. Observing that delay causes irreparable loss to litigants, the Supreme Court asked the high courts across the country to pronounce judgements within three months from the date of reserving order. Underlining that faster decisions are required in cases of personal liberty, a bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Baghchi stated that orders in bail applications should be pronounced the same day, and if they are reserved, they must be pronounced and uploaded the next day.
