ABSTRACT
The research of administrative law is not an end in itself, but a means to an end. The focal point of the study of administrative law is the reconciliation of power with liberty. When the administrative law process started rising after the death of laissez-faire at the birth of the twentieth century, the stress on the study of administrative law was on circumscription of administrative powers. The paradox of the twentieth century in the form of government is the prolific growth in the powers of the State, which on the one hand is necessary for the promotion of human liberty and freedom, but on the other hand threatens to endanger individual freedom. Therefore, the administrative law is to evolve certain principles and rules by which an ideal equilibrium between the powers of the administration and the dictates of the individual liberty can be sustained.
