PINAKI DHAR Vs. STATE OF WEST BENGAL

Decided On March 27, 2024
Pinaki Dhar Appellant
V/S
STATE OF WEST BENGAL Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The judgment under appeal is arising out of a decision dtd. 6/4/2022 rejecting the contention of the appellant that the respondent no.6, Calcutta Institute of Technology is amenable to writ jurisdiction.

(2.) The Umbra and Penumbra of Private Law and Public Law and the thin line existing in between has come up for consideration in this appeal.

(3.) The learned Single Judge has dismissed the writ petition on the ground that the Calcutta Institute of Technology is not amenable to writ jurisdiction as the dispute is essentially a private dispute between the Institute and the Professor inasmuch as CIT is a private, self-financed un-aided institution.
