Article 226 | State Cannot Withhold Contractual Refunds to Evade Judicial Restraint on Tax Claims : Calcutta HC
Calcutta High Court rules that state entities cannot retain contractual refunds to indirectly enforce tax claims barred by judicial orders, reinforcing that arbitrariness in commercial dealings triggers writ jurisdiction. The judgment underscores that contractual obligations must be honored independently of tax disputes, protecting private parties from state overreach.
