Power Under Article 227 Of Constitution Cannot Be Used As An Appellate Or Revisional Power

The Kerala High Court held that powers under Article 227 are limited to grave dereliction of duty or flagrant violation of law and cannot be used as an appellate or revisional power.

The case involved a dispute over a specific performance of the contract, where the defendant wanted to rescind the contract due to the plaintiff's failure to make the payment on time.

The court found the defendant did not fulfil their contractual obligations first, justifying the plaintiff’s delay.

There was no error in the trial court decision as it was based on proper analysis.

The High Court refused to interfere & dismissed the petition.
