Writ Jurisdiction under A.226 of Constitution of India : Supreme Court Explains the Scope

Writ Jurisdiction under A.226 of Constitution of India : Supreme Court Explains the Scope

An important Judgment has been passed by Hon'ble Supreme Court on 3 December 2018.

One can conclude from Roshina T. v Abdul Azeez K.T. [2018] GCtR 3104 (SC) that writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is not intended to replace ordinary remedies by way of a civil suit, and this jurisdiction should not be exercised casually or lightly on mere asking by the litigant.

It can be safely concluded that this is binding on Hon'ble Gauhati High Court.
