Public Administration Mains 2017 : Model Question and Answer - 32 Posted: 09 Sep 2017 04:39 AM PDT Public Administration Mains 2017 : Model Question and Answer (Public Administration Paper I / Chapter: Administrative Law) (Current Based) Question : Dicey' s view on administrative law have been overly criticized. Comment. (30 Marks/400 Words) Model Answer : Dicey's views on administrative law drew criticism on following grounds: 1. Dicey was of the view that French Droit Administration gave special protection to States and Officials, in their dealing with citizens, which is said to be an inference from composition of administrative courts. The cases with State or State Officials as party are tried by administrative courts consisting of state officials instead of judges. Dicey claimed that these courts were not as independent as civil courts and were biased towards state and state's officials against citizens. However, the administrative courts had been born during French revolutionary era. Under the influence of theory of separation of powers, these courts evolved as an independent units and developed a jurisdiction meant for protection of liberty of citizens instead of menace to it. 2. Similarly, Dicey was not quite correct about rule of law in England. As Robson says, there was always a special body if law applicable to administrative authorities only, in England, that gave them special rights. Until the passing of Crowns Proceedings Act 1947, the crown was immune from liability in torts that too incomplete. Statutes like Limitation Act conferred on executives performance of positive duties by public authorities. 3. Dicey's opinion that Constitution of England was a result of Citizen's right was also not quite correct as Constitution was also not quite correct as Constitution was majorly found on customs, traditions and statutory enactments. There is a system of administrative law in every country in the same way as there is a system of constitutional law. Where is public administration , there must be also administrative law. In some other countries legal study and analysis may not have advanced sufficiently far to differentiate it from the rest of prevailing law, but that scarcely be a ground for denying its existence. Administrative law as regulating the constitution, functions ,procedure and powers of administrative authorities is a universal phenomenon. It is part of the public law of the country and creates a pattern of relationships between the public authorities and the citizens which is different in many ways from the pattern of legal relationships between citizen and citizen. So critics of Dicey were not quite correct in their estimation and he does not deserve so much criticism.

How to Use Gerunds For Error Spotting

What Is the Meaning of Gerund?

A verb which has ing in it but we use that verb as a noun is a gerund i.e. walking, sleeping, playing etc.

EX:

• He likes drinking soft-drinks.
• He hates borrowing money.
• He began playing cricket. 

Note:

In the 1st example, we have drinking, gerund but it is used as an object of likes which is a transitive verb so we'll call it a noun. On the other hand soft-drinks is an object of drinking so it is a verb.
In the 2nd example, we have borrowing, gerund but it is used as an object of hates which is a transitive verb so we'll call it a noun. On the other hand, money is an object of borrowing so it is a verb.
In these examples we use drinking, borrowing and playing as a noun so these words are gerund but we all know that these are the ing form of verb. So when an ing form of verb is used in a sentence as a noun it's called gerund. 

Rules:

We use gerund as a subject of noun of any verb: 

• Drinking alcohol is not good for health. (√) 
• Saving is better than spending. (√) 
• He gave up trying. (√) 

We use gerund as a noun of any verb's object: 

Ex: 

• He likes drinking soft-drinks. (√) (use of gerund as a noun) 
• He likes to drink soft-drinks. (√) (Use of infinitive with to with transitive verb) 

In the 1st example, we have drinking, gerund but it is used as an object of likes which is a transitive verb so we'll call it a noun. On the other hand, soft-drinks is an object of drinking so it is a verb. 

We use gerund after the possessive: 

Sometimes we use gerund after the possessive case i.e. 

• We appreciate you taking the time to meet us. (×) 
• We appreciate your taking the time to meet us. (√) 

In this example, it should be you're the possessive case of you because this is an imp. Rule of gerund in which we have to use gerund after possessive case.
In the given example a student can't see the error easily because we always forget this rule because every sentence of this type looks correct.

We use gerund after some special preposition: 

From, before, after, at, in, on, by, without, for, to and besides if we don't use gerund after these prepositions, there will be an error in our sentence so we must remember this rule in our exam.
Ex:

• We were hopeful of win the match. (×) 
• We were hopeful of winning the match. (√) 
• After taken the lunch, he went from there. (×) 
• After taking the lunch, he went from there. (√) 

In the given sentence (2nd) we have a word after and we all know that this is a word for duration and we use this in a perfect sentence but in the given sentence we will use this with gerund because it is used as a preposition in this sentence. 

We use gerund after some special words: 

Allow, permit, forbid, advice after these words we'll use a gerund. These are those common words that can use either a gerund or an infinitive with it.

• He allowed his son to enter the room. (√) 
• He did not allow playing in the ground. (√) 

In the 1st sentence we are using an infinitive with to with allow and on the other hand, we are using a gerund with allow so we must know that when we should use an infinitive or when we should use a gerund.
When we have an object in our sentence we use infinitive with to with these words and when we don't have an object we use gerund with these words.

• My father advised me to read a novel daily. (√) 
• My father advised reading a novel. (√) 

We use an adjective before the gerund:

Some special words: 
Take =taking 
Buy = buying 
Love = loving
We can use these words in a sentence as a noun and adjective also. And we have used it in our 1st rule as a noun and now we are using it as a gerund:
It becomes gerund when we use an adjective to modify a noun i.e.
He is a very loving boy. (√)

In this sentence we have an adjective very which is modify our noun so we'll call it a gerund.

We use gerund as an object of any preposition: 

For explaining this rule here are two sentences in which the first sentence use a preposition + gerund and in the other sentence, we use infinitive with to.

• Mahatma Gandhi devoted his life to helping the poor. (√) 
• Mahatma Gandhi devoted his life to the poor. (√) 

Now in the 1st sentence we, use to as a preposition while in the 2nd sentence we use to as an infinitive with to so we can understand that when we have a noun aft (to) it's a gerund. 

We use gerund after some special verbs:

Appreciate, admit, avoid, deny, delay, dislike, enjoy, escape, excuse, forgive, propose, suggest are those verbs which take gerund with themselves.
Ex:

• He proposed going to the movie. (√) 
• He postponed coming to the dinner. (√) 
• My mother enjoys cooking food. (√)
