2000 (10) TMI 988 - SC - Indian Laws

Summary

The Supreme Court of India granted leave in a case where the petitioner sought a refund from Doordarshan. The Court held that the High Court should not have delved into the merits of the dispute under Article 226, as contractual disputes are best resolved in civil litigation. The Court vacated the findings against the appellant and allowed the appellant to file a civil suit for the claim. The Court also addressed potential issues of limitation under the Limitation Act, leaving it to the civil court to decide. The appeal was disposed of with these observations.
