Smt. S. R. Venkataraman vs Union Of India & Anr on 2 November, 1978
A mere reading of the above is enough to convince that
the Board has to be satisfied that it is necessary to
establish either generally or for a particular purpose or
for any specified area or areas committees for the
supervision of wakfs. It cannot be the satisfaction of a
Member of the legislative Assembly or a Minister in the
Government of the State that will decide the necessity
to establish a committee and who shall be the members
of the committee. It is obvious and ancillary to the
power of the Board to appoint committees, that it is

required to be decided not by any outside agency or
person but by the Board. The Special Officer who
exercised the powers of the Board thus could decide on
his own whether it was/is necessary to establish the
above ad hoc committee and who would/shall be the
members of the committee. He could not have decided
to appoint an Ad hoc Managing Committee because a
certain Member of the Legislative Assembly wanted him
to do so or because a Minister in the Government of the
State endorsed the recommendations of the Member of
the Legislative Assembly. One of the settled
principles of law which Lord Esher M. R. stated in
The Queen on the Prosecution of Richard
Westbrook in the late 19th Century (1890) 24
Queens Bench Division 371, "if people who have
to exercise a public duty by exercising their
discretion take into account matters which the
Courts consider not to be proper for the guidance
of their discretion, then in the eye of the law they
have not exercised their discretion' 'has found
very many eminent approvals including that of the
Supreme Court of India in S. R. Venkataraman v.
Union of India (1) AIR 1979 SC 49 and it is stated
in the later, "the influence of extraneous matters
will be undoubted where the authority making the
order has admitted their influence".
(4) The instant case, in our opinion, will squarely fall
within the rule aforementioned particularly when the

influence of the Member of the Legislative Assembly and
the Minister in appointing the Ad hoc Managing
Committee is writ large in the facts that (1) all those
named in the letter of the Member of the Legislative
Assembly are appointed as members of the ad hoc
committee and are placed in the same position as the
letter suggested and (2) in any event there is clear
proof that the Special Officer made no exercise of his
own to find out whether there was any requirement to
appoint an Adhoc Managing Committee.
