Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India cannot be invoked for the enforcement of private rights to immovable property between private individuals. The Court emphasized that disputes regarding property rights should be resolved through regular civil suits, and that the extraordinary jurisdiction should only be exercised in cases involving statutory duties of authorities. The appeal was allowed, reinforcing that the High Court's intervention was inappropriate in this context.
