202. Opportunity to party to be heard – Executive action—At the expiry of a lease of agricultural land, the lessor, after obtaining the consent of the Controller of Supplies, notified the tenant that he had to vacate the land. Objection was taken by the tenant that the notification was of no effect as the Controller had given his consent on an ex parte application made by the lessor without hearing objections from the tenant. HELD the unqualified discretionary power vested in the Controller was of an executive nature and he was therefore not bound to call for objections before taking a decision. Choorun and Co v Karrim (1959).
