Principles of Administrative law IB

The present edition has been thoroughly revised. It contains twenty-five chapters as compared with twenty-one in the previous edition, and has been considerably expanded which is a reflection of the very rapid growth of Administrative Law in India. Since the last edition, a number of significant judicial pronouncements have been made. The present book fully takes note of these pronouncements and other developments. Many portions and topics have been completely rewritten, expanded, and discussed in greater depth and a number of new topics have been added. The book is comprehensive in its treatment.

The book seeks to enunciate the principles of Administrative Law clearly, lucidly and in a compact manner. Law is stated not only in terrns of propositions but at times explained, for better comprehension, by giving the factual setting in which it has been developed and applied. Administrative Law is by and large a judge-made law and, therefore, suffers from deficiencies inherent in such a law. Often, the authors have not only given their own opinions on conflicting points of law but have also attempted to fill in the gaps in the existing law. References have been made to the law in England, United States, Australia and New Zealand wherever appropriate.
