INTRODUCTION

Administrative law is the law that oversees the administrative actions. As per Ivor Jennings- "the Administrative law is the law relating to administration. It determines the organization, powers and duties of administrative authorities. It includes law relating to the rule-making power of the administrative bodies, the quasi-judicial function of administrative agencies, legal liabilities of public authorities and power of the ordinary courts to supervise administrative authorities. It governs the executive and ensures that the executive treats the public fairly."

Administrative law is a constituent of public law. It deals with the affinity of individuals with the government. It determines the institution and power configuration of administrative and quasi-judicial authorities to implement the law. It is chiefly involved with authorized actions and methodologies and puts in place a governance mechanism by which administrative agents stay within bounds.
