Food Corporation Of India vs Kamdhenu Cattle Feed Industries on 11 November, 1992

In Food Corpn. of India v. Kamdhenu Cattle Feed Industries [Food Corpn. of India v. Kamdhenu Cattle Feed Industries, (1993) 1 SCC 71], this Court held that public authorities have a duty to use their powers for the purposes of public good. This duty raises a legitimate expectation on the part of the citizens to be treated in a fair and non-arbitrary manner in their interactions with the State and its instrumentalities. This Court held that a decision taken by an executive authority without considering the legitimate expectation of an affected person may amount to an abuse of power : (SCC p. 76, para 7) "7. ... To satisfy this requirement of non- arbitrariness in a State action, it is, therefore, necessary to consider and give due weight to the reasonable or legitimate expectations of the persons likely to be affected by the decision or else that unfairness in the exercise of the power may amount to an abuse or excess of power apart from affecting the bona fides of the decision in a given case. The decision so made would be exposed to challenge on the ground of arbitrariness. Rule of law does not completely eliminate discretion in the exercise of power, as it is unrealistic, but provides for control of its exercise by judicial review."

A decision of a public authority taken without any basis in principle or rule is unpredictable and is, therefore, arbitrary and antithetical to the rule of law. [S.G. Jaisinghani v. Union of India, 1967 SCC OnLine SC 6] The rule of law promotes fairness by stabilising the expectations of citizens from public authorities.
