    Administrative action refers to actions taken by government bodies that are neither legislative nor judicial. It involves analyzing specific situations and making decisions based on policy rather than collecting evidence or weighing legal arguments. While administrative actions may affect rights, they do not establish legal rights or wrongs. Administrative actions can be statutory, with legal force, or non-statutory. They are generally discretionary but must still be fair, impartial and reasonable. Administrative actions are classified as quasi-legislative, quasi-judicial, or purely administrative depending on whether they involve rulemaking, decision-making affecting rights, or purely administrative application of rules.

    MEANING OF ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION

    Administrative action is the action which is neither legislative nor judicial in nature but only concerned
    with the analysis and treatment of a particular situation and is devoid of generality. It has no procedure
    of collecting evidence and weighing arguments but only based upon subjective satisfaction where
    decision is based on policy and expediency. It does not decide a right or wrong , neither it ignores the
    principles of natural justice completely though it may affect a right. Unless the statute provides
    otherwise, a minimum of the principles of natural justice must always be observed depending on the
    fact situation of each case.

    Administrative action may be statutory, having the force of law, or non statutory, devoid of such legal
    force. The bulk of the administrative action is statutory because a statute or the Constitution gives it a
    legal force but in some cases it may be non-statutory, such as issuing directions to subordinates not
    having the force of law, but its violation may be visited with disciplinary action. Though by and large
    administrative action is discretionary and is based on subjective satisfaction, however, the
    administrative authority must act fairly, impartially and reasonable.

    CLASSIFICATION

    Administrative action is classified broadly into three main organs of the government namely-

     Legislative

     Executive

     Judiciary

    Generally an administrative action can be further bifurcated into 3 parts-

     Quasi-legislative action or Rule making: It includes the rule making power and delegated
    legislation. Under this organ the administration performs the function of legislation in such
    situations where it is not possible for any legislation to legislate laws for the kind of conflicts
    arising.

     Quasi-Judicial action or Rule decision action: It includes such conditions under which the
    administration puts on the hat of the judiciary and confers the special power of taking decisions
    in cases where legal rights of individual are effected.
     Purely administrative action or Rule application action: This includes the actions which are
    neither legislative nor judiciary but purely administrative in nature.
