Rudul Sah vs State Of Bihar And Another on 1 August, 1983
"9. Various aspects of the Public Law field were
considered. It was found that though initially a petition under
Article 226 of the Constitution relating to contractual matters
was held not to lie, the law underwent a change by subsequent
decisions and it was noticed that even though the petition may
relate essentially to a contractual matter, it would still be
amenable to the writ jurisdiction of the High Court under
Article 226. The Public Law remedies have also been extended
to the realm of tort. This Court, in its various decisions, has
entertained petitions under Article 32 of the Constitution on a
number of occasions and has awarded compensation to the
petitioners who had suffered personal injuries at the hands of
the officers of the Govt. The causing of injuries, which
amounted to tortious act, was compensated by this Court in
many of its decisions beginning from Rudul Sah v. State of
Bihar,(1983) 3 SCR 508 : (1983) 4 SCC 141 : AIR 1983 SC
