Sir,
There is a line in the email you received from HDLS. "The decision of the Board Members will be final in all cases.".
So, its they to decide whom to pay and whom to not. No body can do anything in this regard. However, if you are not satisfy with their decision, perhaps you can ask them the reason why they reject your application.

[Dr. Naved Ahmad]

They may be just offering such aid in letters only and to become famous, so that the members connected via the particular social network can know the people offering such aid. You may ask them to justify their board and discussion in a logical way.

[Dr. Naved Ahmad]

Hi Mr. Badan,
"The decision of the Board Members will be final in all cases."
May i know the criteria of taking decision by the board. They must provide logical reason and the basis for rejection of grant, if they once offered. As you are talking "No body can do anything in this regard", it not sounds better from the professionals like you. Because we are not living in a primitive society.
