Vikas Dhawan vs Shri on 3 January, 2015
This issue has been dealt with by a Division Bench of this Court in case titled Omkar Sharma and ors vs. Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board and connected matters, reported in 2005 (1) SLJ 260, wherein it was held that Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board has been constituted under a statute and in absence of any control of the Government it cannot be said to be State or an authority within the meaning of Article 12 of the Constitution of India. It was further held that writ petition for enforcement of fundamental rights against the Shrine Board would not be maintainable. The dictum of law is loud and clear that Shri Mata 8 Vaishno Devi Shrine Board, not being an instrumentality of the State, is not amenable to the writ jurisdiction of this Court. That being so, the instant writ petition is held to be not maintainable and is, accordingly, dismissed. (Bansi Lal Bhat) Judge Jammu 03.01.2015 Bir
