The article also states that Article 226 is not confined to enforcement of fundamental rights; the High Court may protect other legal rights against persons amenable to its jurisdiction. It further notes that the availability of an alternative remedy under Section 69 of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act does not automatically bar relief, and appellate interference is limited unless the discretion exercised below is arbitrary or perverse. On that basis, the repayment direction with interest was sustained. en-us Thu, 23 Jul 2009 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 20 Oct 2021 09:56:20 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=298208 Under Article 226, mandamus may issue to a co-operative society where repayment of a matured deposit is treated as a public duty, because writ jurisdiction turns on the nature of the duty performed rather than the body's form.
