2010 (7) TMI 877 - SUPREME COURT
Whether appellant has made any other application to the Supreme Court or the High Court in respect of the same matter and how that application has been disposed of?
Whether writ will lie against a private person?
Held that:- Appeal dismissed. This Court hopes and trusts that in exercising its power either under Article 226 or 227, Hon'ble High Court will follow the time honoured principles discussed above. Those principles have been formulated by this Court for ends of justice and the High Courts as the highest Courts of justice within their jurisdiction will adhere to them strictly.
The High Court committed an error in entertaining the writ petition in a dispute between landlord and tenant and where the only respondent is a private landlord. The course adopted by the High Court cannot be approved. Of course, High Court's order of non- interference in view of concurrent findings of facts is unexceptionable.
