consequence. The initial illegality cannot be cured by validation,
ratification etc.
In the aforesaid background the haste with which the Block
Development Officer has acted
Company to represent the Company or the ratification given by the Board would validate the action. He would further submit that the discretion
subsequently "rectified" by ratification of the
competent authority. Ratification by definition means
the making valid of an act already done. The principle ... ratification of an
act is equivalent to a prior authority to perform such
act". Therefore ratification assumes an invalid act
which is retrospectively validated
Power of Attorneys
carried a ratification clause and if any of the Power of Attorneys is
found not valid in the eyes of law then
subsequently rectified by ratification of the competent authority. It was held
that ratification by definition means the making valid of an act already done ... ratihabitio mandato
aequiparatur. It was thus held that ratification assumes an invalid act which
is retrospectively validated. Even though the Apex Court in Marathwada
University
expression 'approval', in such cases, subsequent ratification can make the action valid.
In the case of Regional Joint Director of Education, Agra
subsequently "rectified" by ratification of the
competent authority. Ratification by definition means
the making valid of an act already done. The principle ... ratification of an act
is equivalent to a prior authority to perform such act".
Therefore ratification assumes an invalid act which is
retrospectively validated
filed any case
for setting aside of ratification deed. Thus, the said ratification deed
is valid unless the same is set aside by competent court
altogether . Such a void order cannot be converted into a valid order by ratification by the appellate authority.
