Which of the following doctrines state that if a statute vests unguided, uncanalized, and absolute discretionary power in an administrative authority to classify persons or things, the statute itself violates Article 14?

Question

Accepted Answer

The 'Doctrine of Unchanneled Delegation' or unguided discretion under Article 14 specifies that the legislature cannot leave selection or classification entirely to the unchecked whims of the executive. There must be a clear policy or target grid (intelligible differentia) provided in the Act itself, as established in the State of West Bengal vs. Anwar Ali Sarkar case.
