Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID) does not qualify as a 'State' under Article 12 of the Constitution, thus making the writ petition under Article 226 against it not maintainable. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision that ICID's actions are not subject to judicial review, as it does not fulfill the criteria of being an authority under Article 12. Consequently, the appeal challenging the dismissal of the writ petition was dismissed, upholding the lower court's ruling.
