Delhi HC: Writ Against Account Suspension Not Maintainable

The Delhi High Court has held that a writ petition challenging the suspension of an account was not maintainable. The Court found that the entity in question did not perform any public function, thereby precluding judicial review in this instance.

This ruling distinguishes between public and private actions, clarifying that the absence of a public function limits the scope for judicial intervention through writ mechanisms.

For legal practitioners, this case highlights the importance of understanding the nature of the parties involved when filing writs, indicating that such petitions may be restricted in cases not involving public duties or functions.
