A letter discussed limits on High Court interference with executive decisions through Article 226, which gives High Courts power to issue writs to enforce legal rights and to correct certain public law wrongs.
Background and earlier position
High Courts use Article 226 to address unlawful state action, especially when rights are affected or when administrative decisions cross legal limits. In service and welfare-related matters, the executive often has discretion because administrative rules and eligibility conditions shape the relief process.
