Abstract: The welfare policy has profoundly influenced the administrative law. According to the welfare policy the executive has to perform various function, to perform these functions the organs has to be created and should be vested with appropriate powers. The administrative law deals with the executive organ it is powers and functions so if the executive organ expands then correspondingly the scope of administrative law also expands. Today the executive has under the garb of welfare functions has encroached on all the spectrums of individuals life and hence it become necessary for administrative law to keep a stringent watch upon the executive. To cope up with the exigencies the executive requires the powers like delegated legislation, quasi-judicial powers etc. The present times is regarded as the era of discretionary powers and hence it is for the administrative law to exercise control over such powers to ensure the principles of justice prevail.
