CWP 9332/2010 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR BENCH SB Civil Writ Petition No. 9332/2010 Depti Mishra Vs. University of Rajasthan & ors. DATE OF ORDER : 23/07/2010 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY RASTOGI Mr. Vinay Pandey, for petitioner. Instant writ petition has been filed assailing the order terminating the services of the petitioner passed by a private educational institution-Shree Karni College which, as appears, is approved by the Government of Rajasthan and affiliated with the University of Rajasthan. The respondent-institution in which the petitioner was appointed as Lecturer on contract basis is not a State within the meaning of Article 12 of the Constitution of India and appears to be a private college and merely because it is approved by the Government of Rajasthan and affiliated with University of Rajasthan will not help the petitioner to question their action under Article 226 of the Constitution unless the Institution is covered within the meaning of Article 12 of the Constitution of India. The writ petition against the present institution is not maintainable and is accordingly dismissed. However, the petitioner will be at liberty to avail remedy available to him under law.
