Solution
Mr. Rathore had violated the principle of subordination of individual interest over the general interest.He preferred his own interests by giving the supply order to his family member at a higher price but not to the supplier who was providing the same at a lower cost. This might have led to his achieving personal goal but not the organization’s goal.
