Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in denying the appellant the right to pursue legal remedies after filing a representation to the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC). The Court emphasized that a citizen's right to challenge decisions made by the State or its agencies is a fundamental legal right that cannot be arbitrarily taken away. Consequently, the Court allowed the appeal in part, setting aside the High Court's order that restricted the appellant's ability to seek judicial recourse based on the outcome of his representation.
