Not quite English

Among the numerous insurmountable problems facing the Supreme Court, a recurring one is bad English and typographical errors in petitions. On Tuesday, a bench remarked that it had become a regular feature. The registry is not able to understand what the lawyer wants to convey and therefore does not list the case, and the clients suffer for no fault of theirs. The bench headed by Justice Ranjan Gogoi pointed out that it had to hear some 75 petitions every working day and found it difficult to understand the petitions. The president of the Bar association, Dushyant Dave, has issued a call to the Bar to avoid such complaints and do justice to the judges.
