Roshan Deen vs Preeti Lal

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's claim under the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923 was unjust, as it effectively denied justice to a severely disabled individual. The Court emphasized that the powers of writ jurisdiction should be used to uphold justice, not to undermine it. The Court ruled that the agreement purportedly signed by the appellant was invalid due to lack of informed consent, thereby reinstating the appellant's claim for compensation.
