Head note

Constitution of India - Articles 14 & 227, Tamil Nadu Acquisition of Land for Harijan Welfare Schemes Act 1978 - Sections 4 to 9, 4(1) to (3), 7(2), 11(1), 14 & 18, Tamil Nadu Court Fees and Suits Valuation Act 1955 - Section 51, Central Act, Civil Procedure Code 1908 (Central Act V of 1908), Tamil Nadu Acquisition of Land for Harijan Welfare Schemes Rules 1979 - Rule 5, All India Services Act 1951, Indian Forest Service (Recruitment) Rules 1966, Representation of the People Act 1951 - Section 29-A, Court Fees Act 1870 (Central Act) - Section 8 - The dividing line between an administrative power and a quasi-judicial power is quite thin and is being gradually obliterated.

The requirement of acting judicially in essence is nothing but a requirement to act justly and fairly and not arbitrarily or capriciously.
