Note: Yesterday, the Supreme Court took note of the fact that dozens of judgements in the Jharkhand High Court have remained pending endlessly. The Court directed the judges to go on leave to ensure that they could write their judgements. 

Milords, you may take any side
But you are expected to decide
We know how much you slog
Just by looking at your backlog
So do take leave well-deserved
And write judgments reserved

We know why the system is rotten
After years everything is forgotten
Post-retirement milord is a free bird
What is reserved has to be re-heard
A new milord will hear, say "reserved"
This can't be how Justice is served...
