Writ Jurisdiction--Private Trust Employer--Service Disputes Arising from Contractual Private Employment Not Amenable to Writ Jurisdiction
Writ jurisdiction under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution cannot be invoked against a private body for service disputes arising out of purely contractual employment. A writ lies against a private entity only where it discharges public duties and the impugned action has a direct nexus with such public duty. Internal service rules of a private body do not carry statutory force. Even where a private institution performs public functions, disputes relating to employment conditions of non-statutory staff remain within the domain of private law and must be agitated before a civil court.
