LAW FOR ALL

Delegatus Non Potest Delegare: A delegate has no power to delegate, is a well-settled principle. - Powers of Land Manger of the Port trust - lessee did unauthorised constructions and also sublet the same with out permission - Eject notice was issued - Challenged on the ground the land manger has no authority to issue - single judge allowed the writ - D.B. reversed the order of single judge and allowed the writ appeal - Apex court held that We do not find any legal infirmity in the impugned notices issued by the Land Manager of the Kolkata Port Trust, as noted by the Division Bench of the Calcutta High Court, in the impugned judgment. The power is exercised only as duly authorized by the Chairman. The Land Manager is also otherwise competent to issue notices after due decision has been taken in that regard by the competent authority since he is the one who executed the lease deed.
