This seventh edition of the established authority has been revised by Professor Amita Dhanda to show the reader how the Courts have refined the enunciation and application of the Principles of Administrative Law as the face of the Indian State changed from the days of the license raj to the times of public disinvestment. It points out how the tasks of seeking accountability have altered when performed by restraintivist or activist courts. Public Interest Litigation allowed the less privileged to reach the doors of the court and the right to information allowed people to access the data without which judicial review could not provide the much needed relief.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse. However, knowledge of the law is not easy to find in a limitless field like Administrative Law. M P Jain and S N Jain’s Principles of Administrative Law is an authoritative exposition on the subject which appropriately addresses the needs of practitioner, teacher and student.
