Judgments And How To Write Them by S.D. Singh’S – 5th Edition 2018

Acclaimed as a classic, this celebrated work by a well-known author has now been thoroughly revised and updated.

A treatise on the art of writing judgments, the work has been suitably edited to incorporate and reflect the changes in the statute law and also the case-law references in the book have been updated. However, the basic nature and fabric of the work which has been much appreciated by the readers, has been deliberately left untouched.

2. Discusses the important observations of the Supreme Court on judgment writing like the Saheli Leasing Case, (2010) 6 SCC 384.
3. Coherent and concise presentation of ideas in simple language for easy understanding.
4. Model judgments in civil and criminal cases give an insight into various parts of a judgment.
5. Contains a note for candidates appearing for judicial services.

Reviews

The book shows the very commendable quality of conciseness without being scrappy. The matter also, is presented in a clear form. The propositions in the book are supported by a fairly full citation of judicial decisions and also statutory provisions.
