The Supreme Court of India delivered judgments of varying lengths in 2025, with Justice JB Pardiwala authoring the longest at 415 pages in the Tamil Nadu Governor case. However, a subsequent five-judge bench ruling, significantly shorter at 111 pages, nullified key aspects of the earlier judgment regarding timelines for gubernatorial assent. This later ruling stated that governors and the President are not bound by judicially imposed deadlines, citing separation of powers concerns. Justice Pardiwala was the author of seven of the ten longest judgments in 2025.
