Judicial Discretion
Judicial Discretion legal meaning, translation and judicial precedents.
Meaning & Judicial Interpretation: (اردو مفہوم اور قانونی تشریح)
Exercise of judicial power would inevitably take care of the evil consequences which would likely to flow out of its intemperate use
Every kind of judicial discretion would be used with due care and caution
Awareness of the context in which discretion was required to be exercised and of the reasonably foreseeable consequences of its use was the hall mark of a prudent exercise of judicial discretion.
Discretion of a Judge is the law of tyrants; it is always unknown, it is different in different men; it is casual, and depends on constitution, temper and passion and at the best it is often caprice and in the worst it is every vice, folly and passion to which human nature can be liable.
