Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's exercise of discretionary powers under Article 226 of the Constitution should not be interfered with unless the matter involves public importance or a gross injustice is evident. The Court affirmed that an error apparent on the face of the record must be clear and not require extensive argument to identify. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the High Court's decision regarding compliance with Rule 90 of the Displaced Persons Compensation and Rehabilitation Rules, 1955.
