Unveiling the Rights: Corporate Citizenship in India Post State Trading Corporation

Abstract

This article discusses a very controversial issue in Indian Fundamental Rights jurisprudence- the status of a corporation as a citizen under the Indian Constitution, and its consequent entitlement to the Rights enshrined therein. On an incisive and novel analysis of the Indian Constitutional framework and the judicial attention this question has received, the author blends concepts from corporate law into the purely Constitutional question, to make a case for the liberalisation of the existing legal position.
