CWP 9025/2010 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR BENCH SB Civil Writ Petition No. 9025/2010 Phool Singh Vs. The State of Rajasthan & ors. DATE OF ORDER : 19/07/2010 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY RASTOGI Ms. Rashmi Bala, for petitioner. The petitioner, as alleged in the writ petition, appears to be the President of Rashtriya Khan Majdoor Union. However, nothing has been placed on record to show that he has been authorized to file the instant writ petition. Apart from it, it has been prayed by the petitioner that effective steps be taken to safeguard the interests of the workmen and all the service benefits be paid to them. It also appears that they are employees of the Associated Stone Industries (Kota) Ltd., Ramganj Mandi which is a company registered under the Companies Act. Since the respondent No.6 does not fall within the meaning of the term 'State' under Article 12 of the Constitution of India, the writ petition, seeking mandamus against the respondent No. 6, is not maintainable. Consequently, the writ petition, being devoid of merit stands dismissed. However, the petitioner is at liberty to avail remedy under the law. [AJAY RASTOGI], J. Raghu-9025-CW-2010-final.doc
