PoliticsPhoto: Hindustan TimesSupreme Court Rules Govt-Controlled Societies Subject to Constitutional Scrutiny
The Supreme Court ruled that organisations set up as societies by the government cannot avoid constitutional scrutiny based on their legal form. The key factor is the extent of government control over their functioning and decisions. The court upheld a Delhi High Court ruling that the National Book Trust is a government instrumentality under Article 12, emphasizing substance over form in constitutional inquiries.
