WPMS 743/2011 Hon’ble Tarun Agarwala, J. The petitioner has appeared in person and has filed the present writ petition praying that compensation be paid to him from the respondents. It is alleged that the petitioner had taken a loan from respondent no. 1 and thereafter purchased a vehicle from respondent no. 2. Since the loan was not repaid, the respondent no. 1 seized the vehicle. The petitioner, being aggrieved by the wrongful action of the respondents in seizing the vehicle, has filed the present writ petition. In my view, the writ petition is not maintainable since the respondents are neither a State nor an instrumentality of the State as contemplated under Article 12 of the Constitution of India. Consequently, on this short ground, the writ petition is not maintainable and is dismissed as such. (Tarun Agarwala, J.) 25.04.2011 SP
