Judgment text as reported

VS art.186---Reference by the President under article 186 of the Constitution---Judge of Supreme Court, who was part of the Bench which heard the Reference, signing the short opinion/order but retiring before the detailed reasons released and signed---Held: Judges who retire before signing the detailed reasons could do so after their retirement---It is commonsensical that, if a Judge has already signed a written opinion/short order, but then retires, he can sign/give the detailed reasons post-retirement---This also prevents the unnecessary wastage of public resources and Court time, which would happen if the Bench was to be reconstituted (after the retirement of a Judge) and the entire matter heard again.
