The allotment of Civic Amenity sites by an Urban Development Authority is not a matter of pure discretion but is a quasi-judicial process governed strictly by statutory rules. An allotment made without recorded reasons for preferring one applicant over others, or one that ignores the comparative merits of competing institutions is liable to be quashed. Karnataka High Court.

The Debt Recovery Tribunal does not have inherent power to refund court fees in the absence of an express statutory provision. Payment of statutory fees is not governed by a strict quid pro quo; once the fee is paid for filing, it cannot be reclaimed merely because the matter is settled or withdrawn. The General Clauses Act also does not confer an implied power to refund fees simply because an authority has the power to collect them. Karnataka High Court.
