Ramana Dayaram Shetty vs The International Airport Authority Of ... on 4 May, 1979

The action or the procedure adopted by the authorities which can be held to be State within the meaning of Article 12, while awarding contracts in respect of properties belonging to the State, can be judged and tested in the light of Article 14. Once the State decides to grant any right or privilege to others, then there is no escape from the rigour of Article 14. These principles are settled by the judgments of this Court in the cases of Ramana Dayaram Shetty v. International Airport Authority of India MANU/SC/0048/1979 : (1979)IILLJ217SC , Kasturi Lal Lakshmi Reddy v. State of J & KMANU/SC/0079/1980 : [1980]3SCR1338 , Ram and Shyam Co. v.

E. P. Royappa vs State Of Tamil Nadu & Anr on 23 November, 1973

"21. This rule also flows directly from the doctrine of equality embodied in Article 14. It is now well- settled as a result of the decisions of this Court in E.P. Royappa v. State of Tamil Nadu [MANU/SC/0380/1973 : (1974) 4 SCC 3: (1974) 2 SCR 348] and Maneka Gandhi v. Union of India [MANU/SC/0133/1978 : (1978) 1 SCC 248] that Article 14 strikes at arbitrariness in State action and ensures fairness and equality of treatment. It requires that State action must not be arbitrary but must be based on some rational and relevant principle which is non-discriminatory: it must not be guided by any extraneous or irrelevant considerations, because that would be denial of equality. The principle of reasonableness and rationality which is legally as well as philosophically an essential element of equality or non-arbitrariness (Downloaded on 11/11/2023 at 07:51:36 PM) [2023:RJ-JP:22694] (40 of 95) [CW-13758/2022] is projected by Article 14 and it must characterise every State action, whether it be under authority of law or in exercise of executive power without making of law. The State cannot, therefore, act arbitrarily in entering into relationship, contractual or otherwise with a third party, but its action must conform to some standard or norm which is rational and nondiscriminatory.
