Case History
Summary: The Supreme Court granted special leave to appeal and set aside the High Court's dismissal of S.U.M. Prasad's writ petition on maintainability grounds. The High Court had rejected the petition arguing that the A.P. State Federation of Co-operative Spinning Mills is not a "State" under Article 12 of the Constitution. The Supreme Court held that writ petitions under Article 226 are maintainable against such bodies based on prior precedent, and that the High Court erred in not deciding the petition on merits. The matter was remitted to the High Court for consideration on merits. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
