Mrs. Maneka Gandhi vs Union Of India (Uoi) And Anr. on 25 January, 1978

18. We may further point out that a seven-Judge Bench decision of this Court in Maneka Gandhi vs. Union of India & Anr. AIR 1978 SC 597 has held that reasonableness and non-arbitrariness is part of Article 14 of the Constitution. It follows that the government must act in a reasonable and non-arbitrary manner otherwise Article 14 of the Constitution would be violated. Maneka Gandhis case (supra) is a decision of a seven-Judge Bench, whereas Uma Devis case (supra) is a decision of a five-Judge Bench of this Court. It is well settled that a smaller bench decision cannot override a larger bench decision of the Court. No doubt, Maneka Gandhis case (supra) does not specifically deal with the question of regularization of government employees, but the principle of reasonableness in executive action and the law which it has laid down, in our opinion, is of general application.
