VISHNU AWATAR ETC. vs SHIV AUTAR AND ORS.

The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petitions, affirming that under Section 3 of the U.P. Amendment Act, 1978, the High Court does not have revisory jurisdiction over decisions from District Courts in cases valued below Rs. 20,000. The Court emphasized that the interpretation of state legislation should rarely be disturbed unless there is an egregious error, and clarified that only cases with a valuation of Rs. 20,000 or more allow for High Court review. The judgment underscores the importance of accessibility to justice and the need for procedural reforms in the context of socio-economic diversity in Uttar Pradesh.
