Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court granted leave and overturned the Madhya Pradesh High Court's dismissal of an appeal, clarifying that the petition was styled under both Article 226 and Article 227 of the Constitution of India. The Court held that the Division Bench erred in concluding that the Single Judge's order was solely under Article 227, thus rendering the appeal maintainable. The matter was remitted to the High Court for consideration under Article 226, with a directive to dispose of the appeal within two months.
