Harbanslal Sahnia And Anr. vs Indian Oil Corpn. Ltd. And Ors. on 20 December, 2002
[17]. It is well settled that the High Court can exercise its writ
jurisdiction in atleast three contingencies: (a) where the writ petition
seeks enforcement of any of the fundamental rights; (b) where there
is failure of principles of natural justice; or (c) where the orders or
proceedings are wholly without jurisdiction or the vires of an Act is
challenged. [Ref.: Harbaslal Sahnia & Anr. Vs. Indian Oil Corpn.
