Cbi vs Y. Harish Chandra Prasad Ors(3) on 11 December, 2024
15. The second limitation on the discretion of the Govt.
in grant of largess is in regard to the persons to whom
such largess may be granted. It is now well settled as a
result of the decision of this Court in Ramana D. Shetty
v. International Airport Authority of India that the Govt.
is not free like an ordinary individual, in selecting the
recipients for its largess and it cannot choose to deal
with any person it pleases in its absolute and unfettered
discretion.
