Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in entertaining a writ petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, challenging the Family Court's order directing the production of documents. The Court emphasized that the respondent had given a solemn undertaking to the Family Court to produce the documents, which he failed to comply with. The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order, reinstating the Family Court's directive and allowing the trial to proceed.
