Epuru Sudhakar & Anr vs Govt. Of A.P. & Ors on 11 October, 2006
In Epuru Sudhakar's case [cited supra], to recollect the words of Justice
S.H.Kapadia, the power of pardon is the prerogative of the Government, but not
immune from judicial review. If the decision indicates exercise of the power by
application of manageable standards, Courts will not interfere in its supervisory
jurisdiction. By manageable standard, we mean standard expected in functioning
democracy. A pardon obtained by fraud or granted by mistake or granted for
improper reasons would invite judicial review.
