Course Description
The Constitutional and Administrative Law-I module focuses on the constitutional aspects of public law introducing students to the idea and purposes of a constitution within the political and the legal structures of the state. The course teaches constitutional principles of the rule of law, parliamentary supremacy, and the doctrine of separation of powers. It also engages with the application of these principles within the institutional set-up of the state. By drawing upon the relations of states with international organizations, the course explains constitutional contradictions, limitations, and uncertainties. These limitations are further scrutinized by studying the constitutional effects of domestic application of international human rights rules.
