A 192-word judgment delivered by Justice Dipak Misra in 2015 is being hailed as the longest English sentence ever used by a Supreme Court Judge in India.





In the judgment delivered on 19 March 2015, with Justice PC Pant, in the case of Priyanka Srivastava and Anr vs State of UP and Ors, Misra said that “the case before him was a frivolous litigation filed to harass and arm-twist the opposing party into agreeing to an out-of-court settlement.”





“Justice Misra’s frustration with the case, however, was particularly linked to the rampant abuse of a procedural provision,” according to an article in Legally India.
