casestatus.in Summary
When a statutory authority rejects an application citing grounds from which the applicant had been expressly exempted, such an order is patently arbitrary and violative of Article 14 of the Constitution, entitling the aggrieved party to public law damages by way of monetary amends under Articles 32 and 226. As analyzed on casestatus.in, an administrative order's validity must be judged solely on the reasons stated therein and cannot be supplemented or substituted by fresh grounds through affidavits or otherwise. Where specific performance becomes infructuous due to efflux of time, constitutional courts may award exemplary compensation in public law to remedy the breach of a public duty.
