A private employer's termination of service under a purely contractual relationship does not, by itself, attract writ review, and the proper remedy is ordinarily in contract or labour law. The Court distinguished cases involving public sector bodies or institutions performing public functions and held that they did not extend writ maintainability to private contractual termination. On the facts stated, a contractual termination clause was not shown to be invalid as against public policy, and the writ petition was held not maintainable for enforcing purely private rights against private employers. en-us Mon, 08 Aug 2005 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 25 Dec 2015 20:38:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=176431 Article 226 writ jurisdiction remains a public law remedy, so mandamus lies only to enforce a public or statutory duty.
