Telangana Govt Backtracks on 'No-Permission' Policy in Hyderabad Metro

You see, recently, the Telangana government backtracked on its policy of not allowing people to enter the Hyderabad Metro without permission during the Chief Minister's events. This is a classic case of Section 3 of the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985 - 'Ultra Vires' action. When an administrative action exceeds the power vested in it by law, it becomes ultra vires. In this case, the government's decision to restrict entry into the metro was not sanctioned by any law, leaving it open to be challenged in a court.

This is precisely why we have the Administrative Tribunals Act, to check the abuse of power by administrative authorities.
