1980 (2) TMI 258 - SC - Indian LawsVires of a recent amendment made by the Supreme Court under Art. 145 in the matter of review petitions whereby the judges will decide in circulation, without the aid of oral submissions, whether there is merit in the motion and, in their discretion, choose to hear further arguments in court challenged Held that:- It is quite on the cards that where no injury to justice will be all, orality may suffer partial eclipse in the shape of time-limitation or substitution by written submission even in categories other than review proceedings. All that we mean to indicate is that the mode of 'hearing', whether it should be oral or written or both, whether it should be full-length or rationed, must depend on myriad factors and future developments. Judges of the Supreme Court must be trusted in this regard and the Bar will ordinarily be associated when decisions affecting processual justice are taken. We thus see no disparity given flexibility in decoding the meaning of meanings. We see no force in the challenges and do hope that the Bar will make its contribution to making experiments in modernization and humanization of the Justice System and court culture.
