Reported in: 1998(3)ALD625; 1998(3)ALT508

ORDERUmesh Chandra Banerjee, CJ.1. Conferment of power under Article 226 of the Constitution insofar as the High Court is concerned is of widest possible amplitude. The language of the Article itself depicts the same and it does not require any external aid for such a conclusion. The High Court has the authority to issue appropriate writs including the writ of quo-warranto and certiorari for enforcement of any of the rights conferred by Part III or for any other purpose. While it is true that the powers under Article 226 have the widest possible amplititude, as noted above, the judicial review-ability ought to have certain limits and the Court ought to use proper circumspection in the matter of entertaining petitions under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. A petition for issuance of a writ of quo warranto is one such petition where the powers of the Court ought to be exercised with extreme care and caution while entertaining the same and rather sparingly. Procedure of qua-warra...
