Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's directions in a Public Interest Litigation, which imposed fines and mandated actions contrary to the terms of the Concession Agreement dated 09.05.2008, constituted judicial overreach under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The Court emphasized that the terms of a concluded contract cannot be nullified by sweeping judicial orders without the consent of the parties involved. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's order was set aside, reaffirming the sanctity of contractual obligations.
