MAXIMUM MARKS: 100 MINIMUM MARKS: 45

TIME: 3 HOURS

Objectives of the course

The administrative explosion of the 19th century in the common law world brought in new norms of
relationship between the state and its citizens. In due course, the continental strategies of control over
administration had their influence. Along with this the civil service and administrative agencies gained
more and more importance when the state launched welfare programmes and became the guardian of the
rights of individuals. These standards of administrative behaviour are moulded and supported through
constitutional values in the lands of constitutional sovereignty. Necessarily, a student of law relating to
administration should get a deep knowledge of the operation and changing phenomena of these standards
from a comparative angle. This is so especially on the wake of technological revolution and its aftermath
on the administration.

Unit-1 Administrative Process

⦁ Nature and meaning

⦁ The role of civil service

⦁ The role of administrative agencies

Unit-II Administrative Process: Regulation to De- regulation and Control to Decontrol

SUBJECT CODE: LMADMO2 COURSE CREDIT: 06

MAXIMUM MARKS: 100 MINIMUM MARKS: 45

TIME: 3 HOURS

Objectives of the course

Administrative Law is mainly a judge- made law and has secured its present features through a myriad of
judicial decisions. The historical evolution of the judicial agencies reviewing administrative procedures,
jurisdictional aspects of administrative decision making subjected to review, the grounds on which
decisions are challenged, the scope of review of delegated legislation and the limitations on the judicial
review of administrative action are to be studied in detail in this course. The procedural fairness is the key
to good administrative decision and the various remedies rendered on judicial process clear the way for
achieving administrative justice. The ever-increasing number of delegated legislations in the form of
rules, regulations, circulars and general orders have the characteristics of law, which though framed by
administration, impose burden on the rights of citizens. Keeping this specie of administration beyond
judicial review is neither in the interests of the general public nor for laying down standards of
administrative behavior.

Unit –I Judicial Review in India

⦁ Historical development
⦁ Powers of the Supreme Court and High Courts
⦁ Role of subordinate judiciary
⦁ Jurisdiction: Finality clauses, Conclusive Evidence clauses; Law- Fact distinction and Exclusionary-
clause
Unit- II Grounds of Review
⦁ Doctrine of Ultra Vires
⦁ Unreviewable discretionary powers: from Liversidge to Padfield
⦁ Discretion and Justifiability
⦁ Violation of fundamental rights
⦁ Extraneous consideration and/ or irrelevant grounds

Objectives of the Course

Mass Media such as press, radio and television, films, play a vital role in socialization, culturalization and
modernization of a society. The visual media are bound to have a much greater impact on human mind.
But while these media have such a potential value as man educators, they are also susceptible to
destructive and harmful uses for promoting criminal anti-social and selfish escapist tendencies. While
their positive potential as mass educators has to be harnessed for developmental purposes, their negative,
harmful potential has to be curbed in public interest. Law plays a dual role vis-à-vis such media. On the
one hand, it protects the creative freedom involved in them, on the other, it has to regulate them so as to
avoid their possible abuse. This paper will deal with such interaction between Law and Mass Media.

Unit-I. Mass Media – Types of – Press, Films, Radio, Television

⦁ Ownership patterns - Press - Private – Public

⦁ Ownership patterns – films – Private

MAXIMUM MARKS. 100 MINIMUM MARKS. 45

TIME: 3 HOURS

Objectives of the Course

Protection of Human Rights (HR) became an important issue after the Second World War and after the
acceptance of Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The growth of HR Law and jurisprudence
thereafter was spontaneous and continuous. The changes in the global scenario bring new concept of HR
protection against violation. In one sense, HR can be said as the rights which the nature has endowed with
human beings.

However, they are not mere privileges given to the subjects by the ruler but are liberties permitted to the
“citizens” in a democracy. Manifestly a law that violates human rights is no law at all. Probably this
perspective may give an impression that human rights are not different from natural rights envisaged by
the natural law school.

Although Indian polity waited for more than one score and five years for adoption of Fundamental Duties
in the Constitution, it is beyond doubt that every human being has responsibilities and obligation not only
towards the other fellow beings, but also towards the society at large. Only when a society is aware of this
right-duty relationship can there be any meaning to human rights.

This course is intended to highlight the concept of human rights, their evolution and their importance in
our society now particularly in the era of privatization, globalization and liberalization.

Prepared with the above perspective, the following syllabus to be spread over a period of one semester.

Unit-I Human Rights: Concept.

Human Rights have universal application. They gathered importance when the United Nations adopted
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. The role of international organizations in promoting
awareness of human rights is very significant.

The international conventions, though not binding, have persuasive force since the violations will be
decried by the international community. International Non-Governmental Organisations watch and
monitor human rights violations in every country. However, in the absence of national legislation, the
enforcement of the rights will be difficult.

The following syllabus prepared with this perspective will be spread over a period of one

semester.
