This query is : Resolved
After arguments are over by both sides and the judge says Judgment reserved, what does it mean? And what is the difference when Judge says "For Orders" instaead of Judgment reserved, after arguments are over?

judgement means the final decision of the case after compleating the entire procedings and the denotes the wider term and it include the order, which is a narrower term and the order may be on any application but not judgement.

Both the words denote the same position. Reserved for orders means no further date is to be given rather judgment/order shall be pronounced on the date when convenient to the court.

Section 2(9) of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 defines a Judgment as:
"judgment" means the statement given by the judge on the grounds of a decree or order,
Section 2(14) defines an "order" to mean the formal expression of any decision of a Civil Court which is not a decree,
Section 2(2) defines a "decree" to mean the formal expression of an adjudication which, so far as regards the Court expressing it, conclusively determines the rights of the parties with regard to all or any of the matters in controversy in the suit and may be either preliminary or final. It shall be deemed to include the rejection of a plaint and the determination of any question within section 144, but shall not include-
(a) any adjudication from which an appeal lies as an appeal from an order, or
(b) any order of dismissal for default.
The conclusive determination of the lis by the court is decree and its statement of grounds therefor is Judgment. In one suit, there is only one Judgment by a court whereas at every stage of proceedings, court passes order(s). When the final arguments in a suit are heard, the court is to finally decide the suit whereupon only a judgment is to be pronounced and as such, it is termed as "Judgment reserved". While deciding any miscellaneous application (other than final adjudication), the court has to announce order and as such cannot be termed as "Judgment reserved".
