Karnataka HC Clarifies Remedies Under CPC
The Karnataka High Court has ruled that petitions filed under writ of certiorari seeking to quash orders issued by civil trial courts are not maintainable during the period of corporate insolvency resolution process. The court emphasized the necessity for aggrieved parties to avail themselves of the remedies provided under the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC).
The bench highlighted that the availability of remedies under the CPC ensures a structured approach to resolving disputes arising from decrees issued by trial courts. The ruling serves to reinforce adherence to procedural statutory frameworks, particularly during the sensitive phase of corporate insolvency.
“Parties must utilize the statutory remedies provided in the CPC instead of resorting to writ petitions,” asserted the court.

The Karnataka HC's directive ensures that the jurisdictional boundaries of courts are respected and enhances the efficiency of dispute resolution in corporate insolvency cases.
