Description
In modern times, the scope of administrative law is expanding very fast. There has been tremendous increase in the powers and functions of administrative authorities. Therefore, the discovery of different modes of control mechanism to keep them into restraint has become necessary, because in the present time the manner and style of administrative functioning has influenced every aspect of human life and the conferment of discretionary power on administrative authorities in every field has become very common and the obvious result is full of dangers of its degeneration and unwanted encroachment on human rights and liberties. Under these circumstances, the public complaints and grievances are bound to raise, particularly in developing countries like India, it devise providing appropriate remedies to the aggrieved ones is the main concern of the Administrative Law. "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely". Since there is a rising tendency to transfer more and more powers to the executive which include quasi-judicial, as well as quasi-legislative, a multitude of litigations are coming up against it, leading to mounting up of the arrears of cases in the courts and delay in the dispensation of justice. Such kinds of situations compelled us for serious thinking to find out alternative forums like Administrative Tribunals for quick disposal of cases and the question of judicial control of quasi-judicial powers as well as of Tribunals is also assuming great importance.
