Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the maintainability of petitions under Article 32 of the Constitution for the issuance of Writs of Certiorari, reaffirming the principle established in Naresh Shridhar Mirajkar v. State of Maharashtra (1966) that judicial orders of High Courts are not subject to correction by this Court under Article 32. The Court emphasized that while Article 32 provides a right to move the Court for enforcement of fundamental rights, the jurisdiction to issue writs is limited and does not extend to reviewing High Court decisions. The Court held that petitions seeking such writs are not maintainable, thus reinforcing the finality of High Court decisions in ongoing proceedings.
