Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court clarified the restrictive nature of the revisional jurisdiction exercised under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. The Court ruled that such jurisdiction is limited to cases involving lack of jurisdiction, errors of law, perverse findings, or gross violations of natural justice. It emphasized that findings of fact by inferior tribunals should not be interfered with unless they are perverse or unsupported by material evidence resulting in manifest injustice.
