Objective: In every written constitution, provision is required to be made to equip the state to
face grave threats to its existence arising from extra-ordinary circumstances created by war or
external aggression or armed rebellion. Although "amidst the clash of arms, the laws are not
silent" they do not speak the same language in war as in peace. Extra-ordinary circumstances
warrant the invocation of extra-ordinary laws and such laws are known as emergency laws. They
put greater fetters on individual liberty and also eclipse certain aspects of the due process. But in
such circumstances, the democratic forces must assert that for survival of the State, the least
possible liberty should be available. The students should be familiarized with different aspects of
such emergency powers and scrutinizing intellectual attitude towards such powers.

Objectives: With the introduction of the Constitution seventy third and seventy fourth
amendments, India is moving towards the ideal of direct democracy endowing the local bodies
with powers of administration in matters of regional and local importance. This change has
added new vistas of Indian democracy and it offers an opportunity to translate the Gandhian
concept of Gram Swaraj into practice. Necessarily, a person specializing in administrative law
has to be equipped with the knowledge on the working of early systems, the present
constitutional scheme, the legislative powers of the State transferring responsibility to local
bodies and on the increasing regulatory and financial powers of the local bodies. The nature of
the democratic functioning of these elected bodies and the scope of administrative control as well
of the judicial control over them are challenging areas for students of administrative law to
evaluate and help formulation of new and pragmatic working methods.
