K V VIKRAM REDDY Vs. R SREENIVASULU REDDI

JUDGEMENT

(1.) When I had first perused the following observations of Hon'ble Supreme Court in the matter of Life Insurance Corporation of India Vs. Escorts Limited and others, 1986 1 SCC 264, I could hardly envisage that I will be accosted with the similar, if not, identical situation in my Court:-

(2.) High profile lawyers appeared in this case also and the matter was argued for months together. The appeal was filed on November 28, 2011 and the oral arguments were last heard on 2.3.2012. Even when the oral arguments mercifully came to an end, it was requested that the parties may be allowed to file written arguments. The prayer was but to be allowed. The defendant filed their written arguments as late as on 15th March, 2012 while the appellants had filed it earlier.

(3.) It is also noteworthy that 13 different compilations each running into thousands of pages was submitted before the Court though for its convenience. The lawyers from both sides have argued exhaustively and with great vehemence. The points were hammered with such persistence that they could disintegrate all seven colours of rainbow. The judgment was attacked from all corners. The facts and the law were scattered and thrown into the vast legal cosmos. It is the duty of the Court to collect all these colours to reconstitute the spectrum and try to make it visible through the hazy clouds of arguments. It will be difficult to write a small judgment but an attempt will be made to write a judgment which is comprehensive and yet understandable.
