Government functionary
Government functionary legal meaning, translation and judicial precedents.
Meaning & Judicial Interpretation: (اردو مفہوم اور قانونی تشریح)
Government functionaries are expected to use the discretionary powers in such a way that the person(s) against whom that discretion is exercised faces certain appreciable disadvantages which he would not have faced otherwise as improper use of discretionary powers can lead to discrimination.
Such functionary is bound to obey and carry out only lawful orders and acts and is not bound to become a party to the acts, which are not in accordance with law.
