Influence on Decision-Making : HC Clarifies the Legal Effect

Influence on Decision-Making : HC Clarifies the Legal Effect

It is held in Add Lounge Services Pvt. Ltd v. Union of India [2016] GCTR 6373 (Delhi) that "a person accused of influencing decision making by public authorities which should be in public interest, to that in private interest, cannot be trusted to refuse jeopardizing the safety of humanity for the sake of money/private interest."

"Such a person cannot qualify as not posing any threat to aviation security. A person who can for money influence decisions to be taken not in national interest but in private interest can in my opinion be not trusted with access to the restricted areas of an airport. Such a person, for money, would not hesitate in using his security clearance to allow others capable of breaching the security cordon to go pass the cordon and cause an act of unlawful interference."
