Administrative Action in India

Abstract

Administrative action in India constitutes a cornerstone of governance, encompassing a diverse array of activities undertaken by administrative authorities at various levels of government. These actions, which include legislative, executive, and quasi-judicial functions, play a pivotal role in the implementation of laws, policies, and regulations. The classification of administrative actions facilitates a nuanced understanding of their nature and scope, enabling effective scrutiny and oversight. Judicial review, a fundamental aspect of the Indian legal system, ensures the legality, fairness, and adherence to constitutional principles in administrative decision-making. Through mechanisms such as writs and statutory remedies, individuals have recourse against arbitrary or unlawful administrative actions, thus upholding the rule of law and protecting citizens' rights. In a dynamic and evolving
regulatory landscape, the effective governance of administrative action requires a delicate balance between executive discretion and judicial oversight, with a focus on transparency, accountability, and the promotion of public welfare.
