The company remained an incorporated private company; ownership did not vest in the State, and the statutory control was limited, temporary, and revocable. Because the share capital stayed privately held, no monopoly or transferred government department was shown, and no sufficient public-function nexus existed, the indicia of State instrumentality were not satisfied. The company was therefore not amenable to writ jurisdiction under Article 226 on the alleged Article 14 violation. en-us Fri, 12 Aug 1983 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 13:32:14 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=101043 Temporary governmental takeover of management under section 18A of the Industries (Development and Regulation) Act, 1951 did not by itself make the company a State authority under Article 12.
