K.K.SAXENA vs INTERNATIONAL COMMN.IRRI.& DRAING.

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's ruling that the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID) is not a 'State' under Article 12 of the Constitution, thus making the writ petition under Article 226 not maintainable. The Court emphasized that ICID's actions are not subject to judicial review under Article 226, affirming the dismissal of the appellant's appeal and review petition. The judgment clarifies the criteria for determining 'State' status and the applicability of Article 14 regarding arbitrariness in termination of services.
