Reward to Informers of GST Dept is Discretionary and Cannot Claim it as a Matter of Right

The Hon’ble Delhi High Court in the case of XY v. Union of India & Ors. held that the grant of reward to GST evasion informers is a discretionary matter and informers do not have an enforceable right to seek mandamus or directly challenge adjudicatory orders, as award or reward is not a right, but a privilege granted as per administrative guidelines.
