Judgment when pronounced
(1) the Court, after the case has been heard, shall pronounce judgment in an open Court, either at once, or as soon thereafter as may be practicable and when the judgment is to be pronounced on some future day, the Court shall fix a day for that purpose, of which due notice shall be given to the parties or their pleaders:
Provided that where the judgment is not pronounced at once, every endeavour shall be made by the Court to pronounce the judgment within thirty from the date on which the hearing of the case was concluded but, where it is not practicable so to do on the ground of the exceptional and extraordinary circumstances of the case, the Court shall fix a future day for the pronouncement of the judgment, and such day shall not ordinarily be a day beyond sixty days from the date on which the hearing of the case was concluded, and due notice of the day so fixed shall be given to the parties or their pleaders.
(2) Where a
written judgment is to be pronounced, it shall be sufficient if the findings of
the court on each issue and the final Order passed in the case are read out and
it shall not be necessary for the court to read out the whole judgment.
(3) The
judgment may be pronounced by dictation in open court to a shorthand writer if
the Judge is specially empowered by the High Court in his behalf:
Provided
that, where the judgment is pronounced by dictation in open court, the
transcript of the judgment so pronounced shall, after making such correction
therein as may be necessary, be signed by the Judge, bear the date on which it
was pronounced, and form a part of the record.
