Principles of Administrative Law: A Comparative Study — Second Edition

By Hamid Khan — Oxford University Press

Administrative law governs how the state exercises power over its citizens — through executive action, regulatory bodies, and public authorities — making it one of the most practically significant areas of legal study. Principles of Administrative Law: A Comparative Study, now in its Second Edition, by Hamid Khan, published by Oxford University Press, offers a rigorous, comparative examination of administrative law principles as they apply across different legal systems, with particular depth on Pakistan's own administrative and judicial framework.

Why This Book is Essential for Administrative Law Study

Written by Hamid Khan, a leading authority on Pakistan's constitutional and legal history, this second edition reflects updated scholarship and case law developments since the first edition. Its comparative approach — examining how administrative law principles are applied across multiple jurisdictions — gives readers a deeper, more critical understanding than a single-country treatment could offer, making it valuable for both academic study and practical legal reference.
