Muana, is an officer in an area with only one big hall in the area controlled by his office. Manipuri community in the area rented the hall in the month of March and celebrated their festival every year. This year Chapchar Kut coincides with the festival of the Manipuris and both communities asked for the hall. Which of the four decisions listed below should he choose? Give reasons for his choice.

A) He should not rent the hall

B) Pass an order not to rent the hall to any particular community in future.

C) He should rent the hall to the Mizo, the larger community.

D) Rent the hall to the Manipuris as has been done in the past.

The best administrative decision is to follow an objective, fair, and non-discriminatory principle. Since the Manipuri community has been renting the hall every year in March for their festival, their prior established booking/use should be respected. This avoids arbitrariness and protects minority rights and communal harmony. Why the other options are incorrect: (a) Not renting the hall to anyone avoids the immediate issue but is evasive and unfair to both communities. (b) Passing a future blanket order against renting to any particular community is unnecessary and discriminatory in spirit; policy should be neutral and rule-based, not community-targeted. (c) Renting it to the Mizo because they are the larger community is unjust, majoritarian, and harmful to equality and communal harmony. (d) Renting it to the Manipuris follows precedent, treats prior usage fairly, and upholds impartial administration. The Mizo community can be assisted in finding an alternative arrangement this year.
