The ICSI material identifies four principal sources of administrative law in India. Which of the following is NOT among the four principal sources?
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B.
1. The four principal sources of administrative law in India per the ICSI text are:
2. (1) **Constitution of India** (primary source — Articles 73, 162, 141, 226, 32), (2) **Acts / Statutes**, (3) **Ordinances, Administrative directions, Notifications and Circulars**, (4) **Judicial decisions**.
3. Option D — foreign decisions and unratified treaties — is **not** a recognised principal source. Foreign decisions may serve as persuasive aids but are not themselves a source of Indian administrative law.
4. Article 141 makes Supreme Court declarations binding throughout India, which anchors judicial decisions as a source.
