Union Of India & Ors vs M/S. Kundan Rice Mills Ltd

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in adjudicating the merits of a case at the interim stage, as it exceeded the scope of the writ petition. The Court found that the High Court failed to justify the conditions imposed for the execution of an indemnity bond and bank guarantee related to the seizure of goods. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's orders and directed a fresh hearing of the matters, ensuring that the parties appear before the High Court on a specified date.
