🌟 DEFINITION OF STATE UNDER ARTICLE 12 v. 131

M/S. TASHI DELEK GAMING SOLUTIONS LTD.
V.
STATE OF KARNATAKA

The enlarged definition of 'State' under Article 12 would not extend to Article 131 of the Constitution

Lucknow Development Authority
v.
Union of India
2026

Appellant is a creature of a statute of urban planning 1973, the appellant cannot be equated with the State of UP. In terms of Article 131 of the Constitution of India, the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction is confined to disputes between the Government of India and one or more States. The expression 'States' in Article 131 refers to the constituent States of the Union enlisted in the First Schedule of the Constitution, as distinct from a 'State' defined in Article 12. While the appellant may fall within Article 12 as an instrumentality of the State, it is not a State for the purposes of Article 131. The jurisdiction under clauses (a), (b) and (c) of Article 131 can be invoked only by the States specified in the First Schedule, and not by any authority or instrumentality covered by Article 12.


The core reason is difference in purpose of Article 12 and 131.

“It is not necessary that a person against whom the offence under Section 3 of the PMLA is alleged must have been shown as the accused in the scheduled offence. What is held in paragraph 270 of the decision of this Court in the case of Vijay Madanlal Choudhary supports the above conclusion. The conditions precedent for attracting the offense under Section 3 of the PMLA are that there must be a scheduled offense and that there must be proceeds of crime in relation to the scheduled offence as defined in clause (u) of sub­section (1) of Section 3 of the PMLA
