Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in dismissing the writ petition on the grounds of disputed questions of fact, asserting that the facts were clear from the documents on record and did not require oral evidence. The Court emphasized that the High Court should have decided the writ petition on its merits, particularly in a tender matter. The appeal was allowed, directing the Chief Justice to assign the case to a Single Judge for expedited hearing within three months.
