SMT. POONAM versus SUMIT TANWAR

SMT. POONAM versus SUMIT TANWAR

A writ petition under Article 32 is not maintainable to challenge judicial orders passed by courts, as relief under Article 32 is limited to enforcement of fundamental rights and there is no proof of their infringement. Judicial orders must be challenged via appellate procedures. Family Court's order asking parties to abide by the statutory six month period was strictly as per law and did not violate any fundamental right.
