Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal challenging the dismissal of a writ petition by the Rajasthan High Court, which had ruled that the remedy was only through an appeal under Article 136 of the Constitution. The Court referenced its prior decision in Punjab Agro Industries Corporation Ltd. vs. Kewal Singh Dhillon – 2008 AIR SCW 5745, establishing that the writ petition should be restored for proper adjudication. The High Court was directed to expedite the disposal of the writ petition due to its age.
