BISHNU RAM BORAH & ANR. vs PARAG SAIKIA & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution by quashing the Board of Revenue's order without proper authority. The Court affirmed that the High Court's inquiry into facts and reappraisal of evidence was impermissible, thus upholding the Board's decision regarding the liquor license. The Court clarified that the High Court's issuance of a writ of mandamus directing the Deputy Commissioner to settle the liquor shop with the respondents was not a proper exercise of jurisdiction.
