The Judge No One Could Understand
Update: 2025-08-29
Description
Chief Justice BR Gavai recently shredded Justice Sureshwar Thakur’s incomprehensible rulings, saying every one of his decisions overturned by the Supreme Court. But this is more than just one judge’s problem—it’s a damning reflection of India’s judicial system.
In this Acast, Sucheta Dalal explains how unclear, verbose judgements cost litigants decades, drain their finances, and erode faith in justice. Why does India have no accountability mechanism for judges? Why do opaque appointments and the collegium system let incompetence thrive unchecked? And what reforms are urgently needed to protect citizens from miscarriages of justice?
