K. N. Guruswamy vs The State Of Mysore And Others on 24 May, 1954
In view of the judgment
of this Court in K.N. Guruswamy's
case (supra), there can be no doubt
that the petition was maintainable,
even if the right to relief arose out of
an alleged breach of contract, where
the action challenged was of a public
authority invested with statutory
power."
State Of Bihar And Others vs Jain Plastics And Chemicals Limited on 21 November, 2001
The learned counsel then contending that this Court will
not entertain a writ petition involving disputed questions of fact
relied on a judgment of this Court in the case of State of Bihar
& Ors. Vs. Jain Plastics and Chemicals Ltd. [2002 (1) SCC
216] wherein this Court held :
Smt. Gunwant Kaur And Ors. vs Municipal Committee, Bhatinda And Ors. on 4 December, 1969
Merely because the
first respondent wants to dispute this fact, in our opinion, it
does not become a disputed fact. If such objection as to
disputed questions or interpretations are raised in a writ
petition, in our opinion, the courts can very well go into the
same and decide that objection if facts permit the same as in
this case. We have already noted the decisions of this court
which in clear terms have laid down that mere existence of
disputed questions of fact ipso facto does not prevent a writ
court from determining the disputed questions of fact. (See:
Gunwant Kaur (supra)).

Vst Industries Ltd vs Vst Industries Workers Union & Anr on 7 December, 2000
We do not think the above judgment in VST Industries
Ltd. (supra) supports the argument of the learned counsel on the
question of maintainability of the present writ petition. It is to
be noted that VST Industries Ltd. against whom the writ
petition was filed was not a State or an instrumentality of a
State as contemplated under Article 12 of the Constitution,
hence, in the normal course, no writ could have been issued
against the said industry. But it was the contention of the writ
petitioner in that case that the said industry was obligated under
the concerned statute to perform certain public functions,
failure to do so would give rise to a complaint under Article
226 against a private body. While considering such argument,
this Court held that when an authority has to perform a public
function or a public duty if there is a failure a writ petition
under Article 226 of the Constitution is maintainable. In the
instant case, as to the fact that the respondent is an
instrumentality of a State, there is no dispute but the question
is: Was first respondent discharging a public duty or a public
function while repudiating the claim of the appellants arising
out of a contract ?
Kumari Shrilekha Vidyarthi Etc. Etc vs State Of U.P. And Ors on 20 September, 1990
On the basis of the above conclusion of ours, the question
still remains why should we grant the reliefs sought for by the
appellant in a writ petition when a suitable efficacious alternate
remedy is available by way of a suit. The answer to this
question in our opinion, lies squarely in the decision of this
Court in the case of ShriLekha Vidyarthi (supra) wherein this
court held :
