Durga Das Basu Administrative Law

Description
Administrative acts are those acts which are necessary to be done to carry out the legislative politics and purposes already declared by the legislative body or such as devolved upon it by the organic law in existence. And in order to carry out the regulatory powers and duties, the administrative agencies create body of law in the form of rules, regulations, orders and decisions. Thus, administrative law may be described as the law governing of organization and operation of the executive branch of Government (including independent agencies) and the relations of the executive with the legislature, the judiciary and the public. The executive branch of the Government does not enjoy unfettered power, rather its actions are amenable to judicial review. Such judicial control has become part and parcel of administrative law. Said judicial Frankfurter, "administrative law deals with the field of legal control exercised by the courts over such agencies" (The Task of Administrative Laws 1927, P. 614). Accordingly, it is for the judicial authority to see whether such body of administrative law is violative of the Constitution of the country or is against the principles of natural justice or is otherwise bad in the eye of law.
