Definition of administrative law

Good evening

Administrative law, as the name suggests, refers to laws that govern administrative actions. It defines the powers and duties of administrating 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. It talks about the relationship between an individual and the government, and is a branch of public law. Administrative law came to be of use when India was declared as a welfare state. Because of that declaration, the government activities started to rise, and in order to control and regulate that, administrative law was developed. 

Administrative law deals with the organisations, powers, functions, and duties of administrative authorities, and constitutional law deals with the general principles that relate to the organization and powers of various organs of the state and the relationship of these organs with the individuals. Administrative laws can also be known as regulatory laws.
