Q:

A passage with three blanks, followed by five options, each containing one word, is given. Choose the word that can fill all the three blanks.
Modern public administration has taken a leaf not only from the legislature’s book but also from that of the judiciary. Administrative _____________ is the latest addition to the admin istrative techniques. Administrative ____________ means the determination of questions of a judicial or quasi-judicial nature by an administrative department or agency. Like a regular court, administrative bodies hear the parties, sift evidence, and pronounce a decision in cases where legal rights or duties are involved. The main point of difference between administrative _____________ and administration of justice by the courts is that administrative justice is administered by administrative agencies instead of regular courts. The administrative courts follow the principles of natural justice and common good whereas the courts of law follow the settled principles of law and evidence. The administrative courts are manned by officers belonging to the executive branch whereas the judges are the members of the judiciary independent of executive control.

A) Adjudication B) Division
C) Hearing D) Service
 
Answer & Explanation Answer:

Explanation:

The given blank is to be taken in consideration with the word ‘administrative’. ‘Administrative Adjudication’ means a decision or sentence imposed by a judge. ‘Administrative Division’ refers to is a portion of a country or other region delineated for the purpose of administration. ‘Administrative hearing’ refers to an informal way of resolving disputes between agencies and citizens without the
strict procedural rules of a court. ‘Administrative Service’ refer to managing, planning, directing, and coordinating supportive services of an organization. ‘Administrative legislation’ is the body of law and legal work that deals with government agencies. Thus, option A fits all three blanks correctly.
