Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition under Article 226, affirming that disputes arising from commercial contracts, such as the one concerning wage payments under NIT-514, must be resolved through civil suits rather than writ jurisdiction. The Court emphasized that the contractual nature of the dispute precludes the availability of writ remedies. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the principle that contractual disputes should be adjudicated in accordance with the terms of the contract.
