The paper of Administrative law and judicial review of administrative action is one of the important subjects in modern times. This paper deals with the broader aspects of administrative law and various methods of judicial control through writs. Administrative law has an enormous social function to perform and it is the body of the reasonable limitations and affirmative action which are developed by the legislature and the courts to maintain and sustain the rule of law. A strong, independent and impartial judiciary is a sine qua non of any system of government, excluding dictatorship. In each country the judiciary plays the key role of interpreting and applying the law and deciding the disputes between one citizen and the other and between a citizen and state. Where there is a written constitution the courts perform the additional function of safeguarding the supremacy of the constitution by interpreting and applying its provisions and keeping all authorities within the limits of the constitution. Judicial review is a great institution and is a fundamental arch of the system of checks and balance without which no democracy worth the name can function. Judicial Review basically is an aspect of judicial power of the state which is exercised by the courts to determine the validity of a rule of law or an action of any agency of the state. The courts through writs of habeas corpus, mandamus, certiorari, prohibition and quo warranto control the administrative actions. The important source of Administrative law is the statutes, statutory instruments, precedents and the customs. The paper discusses the doctrine of ultra vires and remedies of judicial review. And the power of judicial control has become an important area of administrative law because the courts have proved more effective and useful than the legislative or the administrative powers.
