ABSTRACT
Administrative law is regarded as a branch of law that governs the actions of government agencies. It includes the implementation of laws, the resolution of disputes, and the formulation of regulations by the executive branch. Additionally, it is classified as a segment of public law. Administrative law relates to the decision-making processes of governmental administrative bodies. Administrative law is the legal field that regulates the structure, authority, responsibilities, and operations of public entities and administrative agencies, along with their relationships with individuals and other organizations. It sets the legal parameters within which public administration functions, with the goal of ensuring that government actions are effective, equitable, and just. Administrative law deals with the establishment and functioning of regulatory agencies, the processes they are required to follow (including rulemaking and adjudication), and the avenues for judicial review of administrative actions. Its primary goals are to uphold good governance, safeguard individual rights, enhance transparency, and prevent the misuse of power by administrative bodies. As the roles of government expand and change—particularly in light of globalization and technological progress—administrative law continues to evolve in response to new challenges in public administration and regulatory oversight.
K. C. Davis defines” Administrative Law is the law concerning the powers and procedures of administrative agencies, including especially the law governing the judicial review of administrative action.”
