Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the petition under Article 227 was misconceived as the supervisory jurisdiction of High Courts is limited to ensuring inferior courts function within their authority, not correcting errors of law. The Court emphasized that the petitioner had alternative remedies available, including an appeal to the District Judge under Order XXI, Rule 92 and a revision under Section 115 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The Court dismissed the petition, affirming that the High Court had no jurisdiction to interfere with the Subordinate Judge's orders.
