Marudesh Electricity Board Case

Summary

Rohit, an engineer, challenges the Marudesh Electricity Boards decision not to promote him, claiming it violates his right to equality under Article 14. The court must decide if MEB is an other authority under Article 12, allowing legal contestation of its actions. Rahul can seek recourse in the High Court under Article 226 if he believes BCCI infringed his rights. The village panchayat is likely to resolve community center disputes. A private company maintaining a public park under a municipal contract can be considered an other authority under Article 12. Riyas case against a private company for fundamental rights infringement is invalid, as such rights are enforceable only against government entities.
