Article 226 Writ Jurisdiction | Private Employers Not Amenable to Writ Petitions Where Statutory Remedy Exists Under Industrial Disputes Act : Uttarakhand HC
Uttarakhand High Court rules that writ petitions under Article 226 are not maintainable against private employers for breach of Lok Adalat awards if statutory remedies under the U.P. Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 are available. The court emphasized that private entities not discharging public functions lack state instrumentality, reinforcing the bar on extraordinary relief where alternative legal recourse exists.
