I spoke about written judgement to a friend. Now I read that there is also such thing as a “written grounds of judgement” specifically in cases where they were shuffled from one court to another. I am not a lawyer and I interpret these “written judgement” and “written grounds of judgement as two sides of the same coin.
This subject came up when I was debating with a friend on the grounds on which judgement was based on. We were trying to understand the whole legal issue. In the absence of a written judgement, it is difficult to ascertain whether the ground upon which the judgement made is sound or not. In other words, does the judgement is based on solid argument and sound interpretation of the law. Sadly enough based on the report below some judges either delay in releasing their written judgement or simply ignore requirement for written judgement to the dismay of interested parties.

Back to the subject of written judgement, I believe it is mandatory for a judge to do so and do it swiftly. How can a disgruntled party interpret a ruling by a judge to be fair, sound or without flaws? To simply pass a judgement without any sound reasons and in reference to a written law is easy and a “loyar buruk” or perhaps better described as “engineered lawyer” like I am can do the job and do it with greater ease, excellence and speed.
On the other hand, if “written judgement” complete with grounds upon which judgement is made; and “grounds of judgement” are two different things, I need a lawyer then to shed some light.
On the relevance of today’s topic in this rather political blogsphere, of course it does! I want to see whether these judges that pass erratic decisions are a bunch of lunatics or men of honour that we can rely on. Perak debacle is a subject very much at the back of my mind. Who the hell is fit to rule this silver state? Since I spend my childhood days in the state, I qualify as an interested party to the whole mayhem.
When courtrooms are turning into asylums, we definitely have lunatics running wild.
