Administrative Overreach in State Action Doctrine

In my opinion, the State Action Doctrine in India has been woefully misinterpreted and has led to an alarming escalation of administrative overreach. The law presumes that when the state acts through private bodies or agents, it's still a state action and hence protected under Article 300A. However, this doctrine has given a free pass to corrupt bureaucrats and politicians to use proxy bodies to abuse their authority and bypass constitutional checks.

For instance, in the case of 'S. Rangarajan vs. P. Jagjivan Ram' (1989), the Supreme Court of India upheld the validity of the State Election Commission's actions under the 8th Schedule of the Constitution, even when it was acting through private individuals. I firmly believe this has allowed the state to abuse its power and trample individual freedoms. What are your thoughts? Do you think the State Action Doctrine needs a rehaul, or is it necessary for effective governance?
