Supreme Court: “Disputed Question of Fact Doesn’t Take Away High Court’s Jurisdiction Under Article 226”

The Supreme Court ruled that the existence of a disputed question of fact does not bar the High Court’s jurisdiction under Article 226. If the State raises disputes merely to justify rejecting a writ petition, the court must dismiss such objections. The ruling reinforces the High Court’s power to intervene in cases of constitutional rights violations. This ensures that legal remedies are not denied on technical grounds.
