dictating the judgment. The judgment in appeal accordingly was setaside by the Hon'ble Supreme Court without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case and the same was remitted to the High Court for a fresh decision. Subsequently, the Hon'ble Supreme Court has followed this judgment in Kanhaiyalal Vs. Anupkumar, 2003 (1) RCR (Civil) 293 by observing that long delay in delivery of judgment is sufficient to set-aside the same without going into any other question involved. Since, the case was pronounced after considerable delay from the date of hearing of arguments and the copy of the order was not available till the year 2008, it would be reasonable to infer that the judgment though pronounced may not be available for delivery to the parties. A Division Bench of this Court in Civil Writ Petition No.12912 of 2003 titled Court of its own motion Versus State of Haryana and others, decided on 15.10.2004, has observed that “ the judgment is delivered when it is pronounced by reading out the relevant and/or operative part thereof, the whole judgment or its copy is required to be made available immediately for the perusal of the parties or their advocates.”
