Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in exercising its writ jurisdiction to resolve seriously disputed questions of fact regarding the cancellation of a contract, which should have been adjudicated in a civil court. The Court emphasized that the High Court's findings should not influence future adjudications on the matter, especially since the contract term had expired. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the interim order was dissolved, with directions for future disputes to be resolved based on evidence in a competent court.
