https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=457512 Delhi HC dismissed writ petition challenging election notices for management committee elections of a private transport organization. The court held that writ jurisdiction under Article 226 against private bodies requires them to discharge public functions. The respondent organization, though registered under Section 8 of Companies Act 2013, represented only 6500 transporters out of the total population and transport industry, constituting a small fraction insufficient to categorize it as discharging public functions. Since the organization was purely private without public functions, writ petition was not maintainable and was dismissed without examining petitioner's locus standi. en-us Mon, 09 May 2022 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 21 Sep 2024 16:20:48 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=457512 Delhi HC dismissed writ petition challenging election notices for management committee elections of a private transport organization.
