Course Description
The Constitutional and Administrative Law-II module focuses on the administrative aspect of public law introducing students to legal aspects of state governance and administration. In this course, the relation among the executive and other organs of state power is scrutinized. Central focus of this scrutiny is upon judicial review of administrative exercise of power. The course extensively engages with detailed rules of this type of review teaching students its various grounds through a substantial engagement with the relevant case law. The course also considers alternative forms of inspection of executive power by examining parliamentary committees, the role of ombudsperson, and the function of tribunals and inquiries.
