1989 (4) TMI 292 - SUPREME COURT

Whether the trust can be compelled to pay by a writ of mandamus?

Held that:- Appeal dismissed. Mandamus cannot be denied on the ground that the duty to be enforced is not imposed by the statute. Mandamus is a very wide remedy which must be easily available 'to reach injustice wherever it is found'. Technicalities should not come in the way of granting that relief under Article 226. therefore, reject the contention urged for the appellants on the maintainability of the writ petition.
