In Brief
A former employee of a private company filed a writ petition under Article 32 seeking a mandamus directing the CBI to investigate alleged financial irregularities committed by his former employer. The Supreme Court dismissed the petition, holding that Article 32 is not available for enforcing personal contractual rights between an employee and employer. Even where allegations involve financial misconduct, a writ petition is not the proper remedy—such grievances must be pursued through civil suits or other appropriate civil forums. The Court declined to entertain applications from other parties seeking relief against the company.
