The system of\u00a0administrative\u00a0legislation and adjudication has existed in India from a very long time. The Britishers came to India for trade so the primary object of British administration was to maximize profit.

The court had power to control\u00a0administrative\u00a0actions but it played great respect and attention to the\u00a0administrative\u00a0decision. Till the end of British rule the Indian Government was concerned with the more primary duties only.<\/p>\n
