Judgement pronounced and dictated in open court can be recalled
YESTERDAY, we reported an important Larger Bench Supreme Court decision where it was held as above. The rider is that the order should not have been signed.
Long ago, in Sangam Lal v. Rent Control and Eviction Officer, Allahabad & Ors., AIR 1966 All. 221, the Court held that until a judgment is signed and sealed after delivering in court, it is not a judgment and it can be changed or altered at any time before it is signed and sealed.
