Art of Rejecting

How to reject a person although it is not right to do so under normal circumstances? Everyone has the right to claim his/her share provided that he/she is qualified. The approving agency has the obligation to grant such right if the applicant has fulfilled the requirements as stated. This is what supposed to be, I thought. However, I was proved wrong when people start quoting on the discretion of the agency to disapprove based on some preempt reasons or even without any valid reason but followed the preference of the people who have been entrusted to make decision.

For example, an application for operating a budget hotel was rejected even though all technical and statutory requirements were complied because of fear by some quarters that the accommodation facilities might be mis-used for immoral activities. Although preempt action to curb possible social problems is good, denying the right of operator to prove that he is starting a legitimate business is questionable. Similarly, it is morally wrong if a person with right qualification and appropriateness is not given opportunity to be consider for stall application. It is not ethical if a candidate with proper and recognised academia qualification is not considered for membership admission into an institution without valid reason even though no clauses in the rules prevent it.

I presume in the era of openness, transparency and good governance, the practice of working with reasonably should be enhanced further.
