KULCHHINDER SINGH & ORS. vs HARDAYAL SINGH BRAR & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that Article 226 of the Constitution cannot be invoked to enforce contractual obligations, as the appellants sought to ensure compliance with an agreement with the Punjab State Co-operative Land Mortgage Bank. The Court clarified that while Article 226 has a wide scope for correcting injustices, it does not extend to enforcing contracts without a statutory basis. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling that no writ lies against the Co-operative Society in this context.
