Arvind Kumar Bhati vs The State Of Uttar Pradesh

The Supreme Court examined the scope of High Court's powers in issuing directions in PIL cases, emphasizing that certain directions related to policy matters and day-to-day administration do not fall within the High Court's writ jurisdiction. The Court held that the directions issued by the High Court in this case exceeded its constitutional powers, as they involved policy decisions rather than legal or constitutional violations. The Court clarified the limits of judicial intervention in administrative and policy issues, reaffirming the principle that courts should not interfere in matters of policy unless there is a clear violation of constitutional rights.
