Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the Allahabad High Court's dismissal of a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution, challenging orders from the Ordnance Equipment Factories regarding the operation of a Secondary School. The Court held that the Society, established under the Societies Registration Act, 1861, had a legitimate claim to run the school at a specified rent, and the demand for higher rent and interference with school operations was unjustified. The Court directed the refund of the excess amount deposited by the Society, affirming the right to operate the school under the agreed terms.
