Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's writ petition, stating that the appropriate remedy for the disputes regarding land disposal lies in filing a civil suit rather than a writ under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India. The Court emphasized the importance of amicable resolution in disputes involving public undertakings and referenced the mandate of Order 27 Rule 5 of the Civil Procedure Code, 1908. The appeal was thus dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision.
