Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Gauhati High Court's decision that Ramakrishna Mission Hospital, while not strictly a 'State' under Article 12, is amenable to writ jurisdiction under Article 226 due to its public duty. The Court affirmed the Single Judge's ruling that the first respondent's service should be calculated from 31 March 1982, allowing him to continue until the completion of 35 years of service. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, and the first respondent's retirement date was adjusted accordingly.
