Judicial Services Mains: Admin Law - A Mixed Bag
admin judiciary intermediate experience_shareDude, I still remember my Judicial Services mains, especially Admin Law. We got a 3-hour paper with 100 marks. I prepared well, but honestly, Admin Law was always a struggle for me. I scored 74 out of 100 - not bad, but could have been better.
Here's a sample question that still haunts me:
Question: "Explain the distinction between 'public function' and 'government function' in the context of Article 12 of the Constitution. Discuss with suitable examples."
I scored 21 out of 30 on that question! Weak areas - I got confused between public function and government function, and didn't bring in enough examples to illustrate the distinction. Need to work on that!
My weak areas were always Article 309, State Legislature vs Union Legislature, and the concept of 'public authority' under the RTI Act. I need to brush up on those!

Maine toh aapke point of view ka vishwas nahin hai. Admin Law ko mixed bag kehna galat hai. Yah ek complex aur dynamic vishay hai, jisme judwaate hue sabhi asatya aur paradox ko samajhna hota hai. Mere hisaab se, Admin Law ko uthne ke liye maine bahut mushkil ki thi, lekin use samjhne ka kaaryan vishwasghat se adhik tha.
Bhai, can't agree more! Admin Law in Judiciary Mains is indeed a mixed bag. While it's essential to understand key concepts like judicial review, it's equally important to not get bogged down by the minutiae of each act and amendment. Our focus should be on the principles and their application in real-life scenarios. Keeping it simple and focusing on the bigger picture can be the key to scoring well.
