Cometal S. a. v. Union of India and 3 Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court held that filing a writ petition was not the correct mechanism to enforce a civil decree. Instead, the court treated the petition as a representation and directed the second respondent to initiate permissible legal actions against the third and fourth respondents under the Foreign Trade Act, 1992, within two months. The writ petition was then disposed of.
What did the court decide?
