5.3. On Article 12, the Respondents submit that even substantial shareholding does not efface corporate separateness or convert a company into an instrumentality of the State. The rights of NDDB, even as a majority shareholder, are confined to those available to a shareholder under company law. What is relevant is not ownership in the abstract, but whether there is “deep and pervasive” control by the State across the financial, functional, and administrative domains, such that the entity, in substance, acts as an arm of the Government. Respondent No. 3 is governed by its Articles of Association, and is managed through its own Board of Directors. Reliance is placed on Electronics Corporation of India Ltd. v. Secretary, Revenue Department , Government of Andhra Pradesh3 to reinforce the principle of separate corporate personality, even in the case of a wholly-owned subsidiary.
