Abstract

This paper delves into the increasing prevalence of administrative overreach by quasi-judicial authorities and its implications on the principles of audi alteram partem and nemo judex in causa sua. Employing comparative doctrinal analysis and select case law from the UK, India, and the EU, it interrogates the erosion of procedural fairness. Further, it scrutinizes the latent dissonance between delegated legislation and constitutional supremacy. Incorporating lesser-used legal doctrines such as the Wednesbury unreasonableness and sub silentio rulings, this study suggests an imperative for rekindling judicial restraint and evolving a fortified review jurisprudence. The language integrates a moderate layer of archaic terms to echo the evolution of legal traditions.
