P.Suresh vs D.Kalaivani

The Supreme Court examined whether the High Court could exercise its powers of superintendence under Article 227 of the Constitution to entertain a revision petition when a specific remedy was available under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. The case arose from the High Court allowing a revision petition and striking off the plaint in a civil suit. The Court held that the High Court should not have exercised its superintendence powers to override the specific procedural remedy provided under the CPC. Consequently, the High Court's order was set aside, reaffirming the primacy of the CPC's procedural provisions over the broader constitutional supervisory jurisdiction.
