State Bank of India Scheduled Cast/Scheduled Tribe Employees Welfare Association v. the Registrar (Society)
Case brief
What is this about?
Three writ petitions filed by a welfare association regarding disputes over its office bearers and representation were heard together. The Court held that such internal election disputes in a private body involve private law and are outside the jurisdiction of the High Court under Article 226. Consequently, the writ petitions were dismissed. No statutory provisions were cited.
What did the court decide?
The writ petitions were dismissed as they do not fall within the domain of public law. No further orders.
