Order must be speaking orders: SC

Delhi, on 02/05/2018 Supreme Court remanded the case to the High Court because it was noticed that the High Court while dismissing the application had not assigned any reason in support of the dismissal.

A speaking order is an order that speaks for itself. The order should stand the test of legality, fairness and reason at all the higher appellate forums. That is, the order should contain all the details of the issue, clear findings and a reasoned order. Such an order that speaks for itself is called a speaking order.
