SYED YAKOOB vs K.S. RADHAKRISHNAN & OTHERS

The Supreme Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution by issuing a writ of certiorari against the State Transport Appellate Tribunal's decision. The Court clarified that a writ of certiorari is meant to correct jurisdictional errors, not to act as a court of appeal, and that findings of fact by the Tribunal are binding unless there is an error of law apparent on the face of the record. The Court emphasized that the adequacy of evidence is within the Tribunal's jurisdiction and cannot be challenged in certiorari proceedings.
