1 - 3 of 3 (0.17 seconds)Commissioner Of Police, Bombay vs Gordhandas Bhanji on 23 November, 1951
In the case of Gordhandas Bhanji (supra), the Supreme Court held
that public orders, publicly made, in exercise of a statutory authority cannot be
construed in the light of explanations subsequently given by the officer making
the order of what he meant, or of what was in his mind, or what he intended to
do. Public orders made by public authorities are meant to have public effect and
are intended to affect the actings and conduct of those to whom they are
addressed and must be construed objectively with reference to the language
used in the order itself.
Mohinder Singh Gill & Anr vs The Chiief Election Commissioner, New ... on 2 December, 1977
In the case of Mohinder Singh Gill (supra), the Supreme Court held
that when a statutory functionary makes an order based on certain grounds, its
validity must be judged by the reasons so mentioned and cannot be
supplemented by fresh reasons in the shape of affidavit or otherwise.
Otherwise, an order bad in the beginning may, by the time it comes to Court on
account of a challenge, get validated by additional grounds later brought out.
