State Of Bombay vs K. P. Krishnan And Others. (And ... on 18 April, 1960

In State of Bombay v. K. P. Krishnan (1960) 2 LLJ 592, it was held that a writ of mandamus would lie against the Government if the order passed by it under Sec. 10(1) is based or induced by reasons as given by the Government are extraneous, irrelevant and not germane to the determination. In such a situation the Court would be justified in issuing a writ of mandamus even in respect of an administrative order. Maybe, the court may not issue writ of mandamus, directing the Government to make a reference but the Court can after examining the reasons given by the appropriate Government for refusing to make a reference come to a conclusion that they are irrelevant, extraneous or not germane to the determination and then can direct the Government to reconsider the matter. This legal position appears to be beyond the pale of controversy."
