The Tata Power Company Limited Through ... vs Jharkhand Urja Vikas Nigam Limited ... on 19 November, 2015
Whether or not
the High Court should exercise jurisdiction under
Article 226 of the Constitution would largely depend
upon the nature of dispute and if the dispute cannot be
resolved without going into the factual controversy, the
High Court should not entertain the writ petition. As
noted above, the writ petition was primarily founded on
allegation of breach of contract. Question whether the
action of the opposite party in the writ petition
amounted to breach of contractual obligation ultimately
depends on facts and would require material evidence
to be scrutinised and in such a case writ jurisdiction
should not be exercised. (See State of Bihar v. Jain
Plastics & Chemicals Ltd.)
