Subsequent addendum to justification/reasons of order - not permitted

Commissioner of Police v. Gordhan Das Bhanji, AIR 1952 SC 16, the Supreme Court has held as under :

"We are clear that the pubic orders publicly made in exercise of statutory authority cannot be construed in the light of explanation subsequently given by the officer making the order of what he meant or of what was in his mind or what he intended to do. Public orders made by the public authorities agreement to have public effect and are intended to effect the acting's and conduct of those to whom they are addressed and must be construed objectively with reference to the language used in the order Itself.
