Constitutional law defines the organs of the state while admin law clothes admin

with the power of action


Scope of admin law overlaps with the scope of pub ad
law which defines the powers of admin, its limits, defining the manner in which
power has to be exercised and manner in which limits have to be exercised and
grievances addressed.

Criticisms of Diceys rule of law

Rigid. Hence brought a dichotomy between rule of law and admin law.
Rule of law may not be contradictory to admin law.
Substantive and procedural law are complementary
Without admin law rule of law is directionless; without rule of law admin
law is meaningless.
Focus is provided by rule of law. To put it in practice we need admin law.

Marxist criticisms of rule of law

Everybody is equal in eye of law is a bourgeoise interpretation of rule of


law.
Life and property enjoyed only by only the bourgeoisie. Violations
conducted only by the proletariat. So this law is just a method of
oppressing the poor.
Nobody should take law into their hands. Ordinary court is costly. Hence
this can be afforded only by the rich. So this is a protection against
revolution.
