Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Calcutta High Court's decision to allow the writ petition for mandamus under Article 226, directing the appellants to produce records and deliver goods as per the contracts specified in Annexure-A. The Court emphasized the obligation of the National Textile Corporation under the Textile Undertakings (Taking Over of Management) Act, 1993, to fulfill contractual obligations despite management takeover. The judgment reinforced the principle that statutory authorities must act in accordance with the law and ensure compliance with contractual commitments.
