RULE OF LAW REQUIRES EXPLICIT STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION

Abstract

The Parliament, being a law and policymaking body, has delegated most of its powers to the administrative organ of the government for the implementation of policies it has enacted. Due to these extra Constitutional powers the administrative process has generated demands for judicial and other constraints so that the private rights of the citizens’ could be protected from violation. In this article an attempt has been made to bring together the points through which the administrative activity could be confined within the statutory limits.
