This query is : Resolved
This is a case of dispute in seniority in a grade. The authority finalised the seniority list of a particular cadre officers after giving opportunity of being heard (30 days time). The aggrieved party filed a petition before the State High Court. After completion of court proceedings, hearing, arguments, etc., the High Court reserved its judgment. But till today even after more than three months, the High Court has not pronounced its judgment. I want to know for how long can a Court continue to keep the judgment reserved. What are the circumstances under which Court compels to reserve its judgment? Is the delay in pronouncing judgment not amounting to denial of justice?

Once order is reserved, it is only the Court to decide when it going to pronounce the same. One can not do any thing except to remind the Court. Delay in pronouncing judgment is a routine matter. Usually our Court are over burdened, thus some times it happens. In the present circumstances my advice is to suggest your counsel to remind the court in this regard.

Justice delayed is justice denied is an age old theory. There are various reasons of reservation of judgement. Generally due to heavy load of word, judgments are pronounced within 3-4 months by high courts.
