Writ Petition & Maintainability - Writ petitions under Article 226 of the Indian Constitution are generally not maintainable for disputes arising out of non-statutory contracts. The courts have consistently held that disputes related to non-statutory contracts are civil in nature and should be resolved through civil courts, not writ jurisdiction.

Key Insights:
- Disputes involving statutory contracts may be enforceable through writ petitions if statutory remedies are involved.
- Non-statutory contracts are primarily governed by the terms of the agreement, and courts have consistently dismissed writ petitions challenging breaches or cancellations, emphasizing that such matters are civil disputes, not suitable for writ jurisdiction.
-
The courts have clarified that rights arising from non-statutory contracts cannot be enforced via writ petitions, and such disputes should be addressed through civil courts or arbitration, especially if an arbitration clause exists.
-
Conclusion:
- A Statutory Contract involves legal obligations enforceable under specific statutory provisions and may be subject to writ petitions if statutory rights are infringed.
- A Non-Statutory Contract is a private agreement; disputes related to it are not maintainable via writ petitions, as courts view such matters as civil disputes best resolved through civil courts or arbitration proceedings.
