Remember the Jolly LLB sequence making fun of applicant's English: " I want to make an apple (read appeal) in this case". In a very quirky way they satirise how poor English is very common in sessions or trial court in India. But is that all?
Read this:
"(The)...tenant in the demised premises stands aggrieved by the pronouncement made by the learned Executing Court upon his objections constituted therebefore...wherewithin the apposite unfoldments qua his resistance to the execution of the decree stood discountenanced by the learned Executing Court".
Don't bother if it doesn't make any sense at all. The excerpt from a recent judgement by Himachal Pradesh High Court judge is making everyone scratch their heads. A two-judge bench at the Supreme Court has reportedly set aside the 'convoluted' judgement in landlord vs tenant case.

"We will have to set it aside because one cannot understand this," a bench of justices MB Lokur and Deepak Gupta said on Friday. Justice Lokur, however, did not record it in the written order sending the judgment back to the HC judge for re-drafting, said a Hindustan Times report.
The landlord had approached the top court after the HC barred him from evicting his tenant. Both the counsels in this case complained of confusion over the judgement. "We normally prepare an appeal in two days’ time. However, in this case I took more than a week because the facts of the case were unclear. I had to call for the trial court order to understand the entire matter," said the tenant's counsel to the paper.
