Ex gratia - an ex gratia payment is a payment made without the giver recognising any liability or legal obligation. |
By the very nature of things no one has a legal right to claim a reward. The scheme itself shows that it is purely an ex-gratia payment subject to guidelines and may be granted on the absolute discretion of the competent authority and cannot be claimed by anyone. -
This apart, (reward) being ex gratia, no right accrues to any sum as such till it is determined and awarded as a matter of right. -
