The Supreme Court examined whether a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution is maintainable against an order passed by the Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council under Section 18 of the MSMED Act, 2006. The court analyzed the statutory provisions and the nature of the Council's powers, emphasizing the importance of the statutory scheme and the availability of alternative remedies. The judgment clarified the circumstances under which judicial review via writ petition could be invoked against such orders.
