Understanding Administrative Laws: Can You Help Me Learn More About Them?

Dear friends,

Can any of you help me to gain some knowledge on Administrative laws?

Hi Indra,

Let me welcome you to joining CiteHR. I wish you will interact with all members on this site, enhance your knowledge, and share yours with other members. Whenever you read a PPT or article posted by a member, please do award marks to the member for their contribution. Make this a habit. I have started collecting all the PPTs and articles of my selection on my laptop. When I find that the material for one DVD is complete, then I will come on this site and declare something.

On Administrative Laws, I would suggest you read a book on Administrative Laws by any Indian author. It is not possible to deal with this subject on this site. This is a must for HR professionals along with labor laws, industrial relations, communication, etc. HR is a big ocean. The more you search, the more your needs enhance for more searching. That fire of "learning" needs to be kept illuminated.

Administrative laws are based on principles of natural justice. There is no Act passed by the Parliament or any legislature. This law has evolved based on judgments from various courts. Some of the principles of natural justice are:

You cannot be a judge in your own matter. That is, if you have an interest in a case, you should refuse to give any decision in that case. For example, if you are a judge and a case regarding a company comes to you, in which you have shares, you cannot decide that case.

Nobody should be punished without being given an opportunity to present their side of the issue.

Discretion cannot be applied arbitrarily, etc.

There are many books available on the subject. Giving the name of any would amount to publicity.
