The Court was considering an application for anticipatory bail when it noticed that the synopsis of the petition was almost the same length as the actual bail application itself.
“Counsel, kindly take your synopsis. How many pages? Four and a half pages. Now please take your bail application. How many pages? Almost five pages but half is cause title. So then what is the purpose of the synopsis?“, the Court remarked.
The judge cautioned the counsel stating that on first glance the instinct for a judge could be to dismiss a case with a synopsis like that.
However, he clarified that he was just trying to bring home the point that lawyers need to be brief with the synopsis.
