Indian Charge Chrome Ltd vs Jagdish Rai Puri & Other

The Supreme Court held that the Orissa High Court's directive to grant permission for the transfer of government land was unsustainable, as it overstepped its authority by performing functions reserved for the State Government. The Court emphasized that when a High Court finds an order unsustainable, it should remit the matter back to the concerned authority for a fresh decision rather than issuing directives. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment and remitted the matter to the State Government for a decision on the application seeking permission to transfer the land.
