alleryStart learning →Modes of judicial control of administrative action in India are conveniently grouped into three heads. Which of the following is NOT one of the three?
- Constitutional
- Statutory
- Administrative
- Ordinary or Equitable
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: C. Administrative
1. The ICSI text identifies three heads of judicial control: (A) **Constitutional**, (B) **Statutory**, and (C) **Ordinary or Equitable**.
2. **'Administrative'** is NOT one of the modes — administrative action is the *subject* of judicial control, not a mode of it.
3. The ICSI in-line question box confirms: 'Which one of the following is not a type of judicial control of administrative action? Answer: (C) Administrative.'
4. Constitutional control rests on Articles 13, 32, 226 and 245
statutory control covers appeals and references under specific statutes
ordinary or equitable control covers injunctions, declaratory action and action for damages.
