The Commissioner’s removal of the racing supplement was unlawful because Rule 56 did not authorize partial censorship of newspapers, the unpublished Standing Orders lacked legislative force and could not provide a legal basis, and the action was irrational, disproportionate and breached Article 16 of the Bill of Rights; disclosure refusal impeded access to the court though no mandamus was ordered due to subsequent disclosure and apology.
