LT. GOVERNOR OF DELHI vs V.K. SODHI .

The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's ruling that the State Council of Education, Research and Training (SCERT) qualifies as a 'State' under Article 12 of the Constitution of India, thereby obligating it to implement its own regulations and policies. The Court clarified that the High Court's decision did not mandate the extension of benefits to unabsorbed employees, as it only directed the implementation of Regulation 67 as it stood prior to its amendment. The appeal by SCERT was dismissed, affirming the High Court's interpretation of its obligations under constitutional law.
