M/S Lakshmi Precision Screws Ltd vs Ram Bahagat

The Supreme Court reiterated the principles governing the issuance of writs of certiorari under Article 226, emphasizing that such writs can correct jurisdictional errors but cannot re-evaluate findings of fact made by inferior tribunals. The Court held that the High Court's role is supervisory, and it cannot act as an appellate court to reassess evidence or findings of fact unless there is an error of law apparent on the record. The judgment reaffirmed the legal standards set in Syed Yakoob v. K.S. Radhakrishnan, particularly regarding the limits of High Court jurisdiction in reviewing tribunal decisions.
