Madras High Court: The Court held that the High Court while exercising
its jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution does not sit as
an appellate authority over the acts and deeds of the Financial
Corporation and seek to correct them. Further, in a matter between the
Corporation and its debtor, a writ court has no say except in two
situations: (a) there is a statutory violation on the part of the Corporation, or (b) where the Corporation acts unfairly i.e. unreasonably.
The court dismissed the writ petition filed by the petitioner praying to quash the impugned order of Tamil Nadu Industrial Investment Corporation Ltd. and to settle the dues of the petitioner through a one-time settlement. The court relied upon U.P. Financial Corpn. v. Gem Cap (India) (P) Ltd., (1993) 2 SCC 299 and Karnataka State Industrial Investment and Development Corpn. Ltd. v.
