It is admitted in the pleadings and the submissions that this hospital is a private hospital run by an individual. Petitioner has not shown as to how a writ petition is maintainable against such a private hospital. 2. Even otherwise, I do not think that the 1st respondent is discharging any public duty rendering itself amenable to the writ of jurisdiction of this court. Writ petition fails and is dismissed.
