It is fairly admitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that he worked in the first respondent company, which is a private limited company. In that view of the matter, the writ petition itself is not maintainable as it is not the state or any other authority within the meaning of Article 12 of the Constitution of India. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed on the ground of maintainability. However, it is made clear that it is open for the petitioner to avail any other remedy available under law. No order as to costs. ________________ 16th February, 2006 SKM
