Extract from the Foreword
Dr. I.P. Massey’s book contains a lucid exposition of administrative law in all its aspects and dimensions and offers a highly perceptive and critical analysis. I have no doubt that this book will be of immense use not only to law students but also to lawyers and administrators and men in public life.

Review
The book deserves an international readership and is produced so well. It is also a testimony to the high standards that are now reached by Indian legal scholarship. Works, such as Massey on Administrative Law, indicate that university teachers in that country can match up with the best in the world in producing works of quality.
