https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=753137 SC dismissed appeal regarding writ jurisdiction over privatized company. Employee challenged termination before Delhi HC, but during pendency, government company (AIL) was privatized. HC ruled writ petition unmaintainable as privatized entity no longer qualified as "State" under Article 12. SC held writ jurisdiction determined at time of decision, not filing. Since company became private entity not performing public functions, HC lacked jurisdiction to issue writ. Court protected employee's rights by allowing pursuit of remedy through appropriate alternative forum rather than complete non-suit. en-us Thu, 16 May 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 24 May 2024 17:42:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=753137 SC dismissed appeal regarding writ jurisdiction over privatized company.
