Dwarkanath, Hindu Undivided Family vs Income-Tax Officer, Special Circle, ... on 29 March, 1965
In Dwarkanath, Hindu Undivided
Family v. Income-Tax Officer, Special Circle, Kanpur, and
another, [1965] 3 S.C.R. 536, 540 this Court pointed out
that Article 226 is designedly couched in a wide language in
order not to confine the power conferred by it only to the
power to issue prerogative writs as understood in England,
such wide language being used to enable the High Courts "to
reach injustice wherever it is found" and "to mould the
reliefs to meet the peculiar and complicated requirements of
this country."
