HIGHLIGHTS

  • Delhi HC dismissed a plea of a man claiming his right to an award was infringed.
  • He claimed he had been recommended by his commandant for the same but did not receive the award.
  • The court held that no one has a legal right to any award.

There is no legitimate right to an honour or decoration however just an appropriate thought of the name for such honour/decoration, the Delhi High Court as of late noticed while excusing an application by a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) staff testing disavowal of Gallantry Award for his job in a 2019 activity between the CRPF and equipped Naxals. A Division Bench of Justices Manmohan and Navin Chawla held that the High Court in the exercise of its writ purview, can't give a bravery grant however can just inspect whether the dynamic cycle was clung to by the authority liable for presenting the honour.

The writ appeal was moved by a CRPF faculty Manjunath Gouli testing a request dated July 23, 2021, passed by the respondent specialists, denying the applicant Police Medal for Gallantry (PMG) Award. In the request, the applicant had looked for bearings from the Court to the respondent(s) to incorporate the petitioner's name for the PMG grant. It was the situation of the solicitor that on July 25, 2019, he was associated with an experience activity between the CRPF and equipped Naxals because of which his name, alongside another power workforce, was suggested for the PMG grant, by the unit Commandant (one of the respondents), via a definite report dated August 14, 2019.

The applicant was agitated by the way that even though the Commandant had composed a decent recommendation and complimented the courage of the petitioner in the episode report, yet he was not presented the Gallantry Award. On conveying the previously mentioned complaint and mentioning explanations behind non-thought for the honour, a request dated July 23, 2021, was given by the respondent specialists expressing that the applicant's job in the experience was not up to the level for which his name could be suggested for the PMG grant and subsequently the petitioner’s complaint was declined.

Advocate Krishnan Kumar Sharma showing up for the applicant contended that the request by respondent specialists by which the candidate's name was turned down, was unfair. Further, it was presented that the activities of the authority can't be permitted since the actual specialists (alluding to report of Commandant) had recognized the candidate's significant job in the experience/activity, yet his name was eliminated from thought for the PMG grant with practically no real excuse.

The Court expressed that the candidate has just a right for the thought of his name for the PMG Award yet has no legitimate right to an honour/decoration. While dismissing the request of the candidate, the Court noticed that there exists no wrongdoing in the dynamic course of the respondents that prompted non-thought of the name of the applicant for the PMG Award.
