Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the legality of the Bombay High Court's order under Article 226, which allowed the construction of a compound wall under police protection. The Court held that the High Court's reliance on 'Minutes of Order' submitted by advocates was not justified, emphasizing the need for proper judicial scrutiny in such matters. The appeal against the High Court's order was allowed, thereby setting aside the directive for police protection in the construction process under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, specifically Section 9.
