law through judgments that emphasized individual rights and the rule of
law, influencing the development of administrative practices.

5. Constitutional Mandates: The Indian Constitution, with its detailed


provisions on administrative law, laid the foundation for legal frameworks
governing administrative actions and ensuring constitutional principles are
upheld.

globalization necessitated the creation of administrative structures to
manage economic activities. Events like the economic reforms of 1991
marked a significant shift.

need for transparency and accountability compelled the development of
administrative law to safeguard individual interests.
