Union Of India vs Lt. Col. (Retd.) M.G. Kapoor on 1 July, 2015
In the case of Union of India Vs. M. L. Kapoor,
reported in AIR 1974 SC 87, the Supreme Court observed that "the reasons are
the links between the materials on which certain conclusions are based and the
actual conclusions. They disclose how the mind is applied to the subject matter
whether it is purely administrative or quasi-judicial. They should reveal a
rational nexus between the facts considered and the conclusions reached. Only
in this way can opinions or decisions recorded be shown to be manifestly just
and reasonable".
