Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the principles of judicial review and the limitations inherent in the judicial process, emphasizing that judges must adhere to established legal principles rather than personal beliefs. The Court reiterated the importance of restraint and integrity in adjudication, referencing Tata Cellular v. Union of India (1994) 6 SCC 651 to highlight the challenges judges face in reviewing complex cases. The appeal was ultimately dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision and underscoring the necessity for judges to operate within the confines of the law.
