Abstract

This article explores the intricate landscape of Administrative Law, delving into its fundamental components of decision-making, implementation, and termination within administrative agencies. Drawing on a rich array of literature, the study examines the role of judicial review in scrutinizing the legality of administrative decisions, emphasizing the delicate balance between regulatory power and procedural fairness. Ethical considerations in decision-making processes are explored, highlighting the moral dimensions that shape governmental actions and impact public trust. The challenges associated with the implementation of administrative decisions are analysed, alongside a nuanced examination of the termination phase, shedding light on legal grounds, procedural intricacies, and broader implications. Technological advancements in governance processes and the evolving role of public participation in shaping administrative decisions are also scrutinized. By synthesizing and building upon existing scholarship, this article contributes to the ongoing discourse on Administrative Law, providing a comprehensive overview of its complexities and implications for governance and society.
