(cited supra) stated that the principles on which the High Court can exercise its power under Article 227 very succinctly which would better, quote : “Though this Court has a right to interfere with decisions of Courts and tribunals under its power of superintendence, it appears to me that the right must be exercised most sparingly and only in appropriate cases. The matter was considered by a Bench of this Court in Manmathanath Vs. Emperor [AIR 1933 Calcutta 132] . In that case a Bench over which Sir George Rankin C. J. presided held that Section 107, Government of India Act (which roughly 2 corresponds to Article 227 of the Constitution), does not vest the High Court with limitless power, which may be exercised at the Court's discretion to remove the hardship of particular decisions. The power of superintendence it confers is a power of a known and well-recognised character and should be exercised on those judicial principles which give it its character. In general words, the High Court's power of superintendence is a power to keep Subordinate Courts within the bounds of their authority, to see that they do what their duty requires and that they do it in a legal manner.”
