Its fundamental objective is to regulate government power and protect individuals against arbitrary or illegal state actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-key-juristic-definitions\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Juristic_Definitions\"><\/span>Key Juristic Definitions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sir Ivor Jennings:<\/strong> Focuses on organisation and power, defining it as the law relating to the structure, powers, and duties of administrative authorities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>V.

Technological Complexity:<\/strong> Rapid industrialisation required specialised oversight of infrastructure, transport, banking, and communications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Legislative Capacity Constraints:<\/strong> Legislatures lack the time and technical expertise to draft exhaustive laws, leading them to delegate rule-making power to executive experts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Need for Flexible Adjudication:<\/strong> Traditional court systems faced heavy backlogs; administrative tribunals offer faster, highly specialised dispute resolution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Crisis Response:<\/strong> Emergencies, epidemics, and national security challenges require swift executive action, which must remain subject to legal safeguards.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Demand for Accountability:<\/strong> As executive authority grows, robust legal mechanisms are required to combat corruption, enforce transparency, and safeguard civil rights.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-case-laws-on-the-development-of-indian-administrative-law\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Case_Laws_on_the_Development_of_Indian_Administrative_Law\"><\/span>Case Laws on the Development of Indian Administrative Law<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The growth of Indian administrative law has been shaped by several landmark judgements of the Supreme Court, which have established important principles of natural justice, delegated legislation, judicial review and government accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-1-k-kraipak-v-union-of-india-1969\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_K_Kraipak_v_Union_of_India_1969\"><\/span>1. K. Kraipak v. Union of India (1969)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Supreme Court held that the principles of natural justice apply even to administrative decisions where there is a possibility of bias. It also reduced the distinction between administrative and quasi-judicial functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-2-in-re-delhi-laws-act-1951\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_In_Re_Delhi_Laws_Act_1951\"><\/span>2. In Re Delhi Laws Act (1951)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Supreme Court held that the legislature can delegate its rule-making powers to the executive but cannot delegate its essential legislative functions, such as determining basic legislative policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-3-maneka-gandhi-v-union-of-india-1978\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Maneka_Gandhi_v_Union_of_India_1978\"><\/span>3. Maneka Gandhi v. Union of India (1978)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Court ruled that any procedure depriving a person of personal liberty under Article 21 must be just, fair and reasonable, and not arbitrary. This strengthened judicial control over administrative actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-4-p-royappa-v-state-of-tamil-nadu-1974\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_P_Royappa_v_State_of_Tamil_Nadu_1974\"><\/span>4. P. Royappa v. State of Tamil Nadu (1974)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Supreme Court established that arbitrariness is opposed to equality under Article 14. This became an important principle for controlling arbitrary administrative actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-5-kasturi-lal-v-state-of-u-p-1965\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Kasturi_Lal_v_State_of_UP_1965\"><\/span>5. Kasturi Lal v. State of U.P. (1965)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Supreme Court recognised the distinction between sovereign and non-sovereign functions in determining government liability for wrongful acts. The judgement highlighted the limitations of government liability under the doctrine of sovereign immunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These landmark judgements have played a vital role in developing Indian administrative law by ensuring fairness in administrative actions, limiting arbitrary powers, controlling delegated legislation and strengthening government accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-conclusion\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Administrative law is a cornerstone of modern governance. By defining executive boundaries and enforcing procedural fairness, it guarantees that as government powers expand to meet public needs, the rights and freedoms of individuals remain firmly protected under the Rule of Law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-related-links yoast-seo-related-links\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalserviceindia.com\/Legal-Articles\/understanding-legislation-as-a-source-of-law\/\">Understanding Legislation as a Source of Law<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalserviceindia.com\/Legal-Articles\/doctrine-of-separation-of-powers\/\">Doctrine of Separation of Powers<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalserviceindia.com\/Legal-Articles\/delegated-legislation-in-india-key-judicial-pronouncements-doctrinal-evolution\/\">Delegated Legislation in India: Key Judicial Pronouncements and Doctrinal Evolution<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalserviceindia.com\/Legal-Articles\/judicial-control-delegated-legislation-india-ultra-vires-demonetisation\/\">Judicial Control of Delegated Legislation in India: Ultra Vires, Judicial Review &amp; the Demonetisation Case<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalserviceindia.com\/Legal-Articles\/doctrine-of-checks-and-balances-a-comparative-study-of-the-usa-uk-and-india\/\">Doctrine of Checks and Balances: A Comparative Study of the USA, UK, and India<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meaning and Definition of Administrative Law In the modern state, the power of government touches almost every aspect of daily life\u2014from business regulations to public welfare.
