Correct option is C
Judgment under Section 2(9) of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, is defined as the statement given by the judge on the grounds of a decree or order. It is a reasoned statement explaining why a particular order or decree was issued. The judgment is the final expression of the court’s reasoning and is distinct from the decree, which is the formal expression of adjudication.
Information Booster: The judgment is essential as it provides the rationale behind the court's decision, offering clarity and transparency in judicial proceedings. It serves as the basis for any appeals or further legal actions.
Additional Knowledge:
· (a) A decree: While closely related, a decree is the formal expression of an adjudication, distinct from the judgment which explains the reasons.
· (b) Dismissal of appeal summarily: This refers to the rejection of an appeal without a full hearing, not specifically related to the definition of judgment.
· (d) All the above: The correct definition pertains specifically to the statement of grounds, not all options.
