Anil Kumar Maity Vs. State of West Bengal and ors.

Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Jan-16-2007

Reported in: 2007(2)CHN124,1(2007)CLT691

Dipankar Datta, J.1. This is a rare case where the facts are such that despite the prayers of the petition not being appropriately framed, I am inclined to grant relief to the petitioner because he has been subjected to grave injustice. I proceed to grant relief to the petitioner keeping in mind that Article 226 of the Constitution ex facie confers a wide power on the High Courts to reach injustice wherever it is found [see Dwarkanath v. I.T.O. : [1965]57ITR349(SC) , followed in Shri Anadi Mukta Sadguru S.M.V.S.J.M.S. Trust v. V.R. Rudani : (1989)IILLJ324SC ] and that if foundation for grant of a particular relief is laid and a party is entitled to relief on merits, an application cannot be thrown out simply on the ground that the proper writ or direction has not been prayed for and it would be permissible for the Writ Court to mould the relief for ends of justice.2. Certain basic facts are required to be noted for appreciating the plight of the petitioner.3. After being involved in a ...
