Shri Dhanuka invited my attention to the judgment of the Supreme Court reported in 1973 (3) S.C. Cases 489 (Ramana Dayaram Shetty v. International Airport Authority of India Ors.). In paragraph 10 of the judgment Mr. Justice Bhagwati approved the dictum laid down by Mr. Justice Frankfurter to the following effect : An executive agency must be rigorously held to the standards by which it professes its actions to be judged.....
