Even the speech made on the floor of parliment is a promise which cannot be gone back. If GO is in your favour, the effect to the GO has to be given in your favour.

Government Order if it violates the judicial pronouncements, law of the land and customs for public interest the Public servant can side line the GO stating reasons. But he cannot neglect the same. But can overrule the issue by reasons and customs.
