THE HIGH COURT OF KARNATAKA
Suraj Govindaraj, J
Arfa Meraj Trading Co. – Appellant
Versus
State Of Karnataka – Respondent
WP No. 10852 of 2026



Advocates:
For the Appellants/Petitioners: J. R. Mohan
For the Respondents: Nanda Kishore, Saritha Kulkarni

The court dismissed a writ petition based on the principle of judicial consistency, finding that the issues raised were already adjudicated and upheld in a prior decision of a Co-ordinate Bench involving the same subject matter.

Headnote:The petitioner challenged orders passed by the District and Sessions Court and the Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee, seeking writs of certiorari. The central legal issue involved the validity of eviction and marketing department orders. Following the principle of judicial consistency, the Court examined a prior judgment by a Co-ordinate Bench in a similar matter. The Court held that the ratio laid down in the previous case regarding the validity of such departmental orders was applicable to the present facts, thereby justifying the dismissal of the petition. The writ petition is dismissed, with liberty reserved for the petitioner to request alternate temporary premises.
