Prantosh Sinha vs State Of West Bengal & Ors. on 15 March, 2000
However, emphasis was given on the observations of the Supreme Court in paragraph 28 of Its Judgment in the case of Guppapalli Nageswara Rao v. Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation, and also on the observations made by the Supreme Court in paragraph 8 of Its judgment in the case of GuIlappalH Nageswara Rao v. State of Andhra Pradesh, . In the earlier observation the Supreme Court clarified that since quasi-Judicial act is not wholly Judicial, by the Rules, the Governor is authorised to make, he can regulate his own acts as well as the acts of his subordinates in relation thereto. By section 15(2) of the Act the State Government has not been vested with any quasi-judicial power. Pure judicial power has been vested in the authority and the Governor or the State Government has been authorised to prescribe such authority. It Is, therefore, a power to nominate. The statute, however, says that such nomination must be made by rules. In that matter of making such rules or in the matter of nominating such appellate authority, the Governor of the Slate does not exercise any quasi-Judicial authority. The later observation is confined to hearing given by a governmental authority, in support of the objections the Government had Invited in exercise of a power vested on the Government by a Statute. Those observations throw no light to answer the questions involved in this case.
