Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD RAZZAQ VS SURAYYA BIBI Reasons for decision---Scope---Number of advantages in the provision of reasons for decisions exist---Firstly, reasons can assist the Courts in performing their supervisory function---Substantive review based on relevancy, propriety of purpose or proportionality is much easier to apply if the agency's reasons are evident---Secondly, an obligation to provide reasons will often help to ensure that the decision has been thought through by the agency---Thirdly, the provision of reasons can help to ensure that other objectives of administrative law are not frustrated---If consultation rights are granted in certain areas, then a duty to furnish reasons make it more difficult for the decision maker merely to go through the motions of hearing interested parties without actually taking their views into account---Finally, it is arbitrary to have one's status redefined without an adequate explanation of the reasons for the action---Provision of reasons can, by way of contrast, increase public confidence in the administrative process and enhance its legitimacy---Duty to provide reasons can, therefore, help to attain both the instrumental and non-instrumental objectives that underlie process rights.
