casestatus.in Summary

Summary of C.A. No. 005538/2004 (Ashwani Dhir v. State of Bihar) The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's dismissal of a writ petition under Article 227 of the Constitution. Ashwani Dhir and others, defendants in a suit seeking to restrain telecasting of a TV serial allegedly defaming a political figure, challenged the High Court's rejection of their petition on grounds of alternative remedy availability. The Court accepted that the High Court had jurisdiction under Article 227 and directed the High Court to reconsider the writ petition (CWJC No.2978/2003) on merits and dispose of it within two months from August 27, 2004.
