Can Trial Courts in India give Judgements in 10 Lines as they do in other country? Need for brevity?

Last week a client showed me a Divorce Judgement granted by an Australian trial court.

Judgement appeared to be in a format running into one and a half page and then signature of Judge.

Judgement mentioned facts ACTUALLY ESSENTIAL for judgement only. There appeared a prescribed form in which judgement was given.

If Indian Courts can introduce such short formats much time of courts can be saved.

The initiative has to be taken by Supreme Court or High Court for prescribing a format of judgement to trial courts in India.
