Good governance — the administration's quality standard. The UN's eight indicators (the exam's list): participation, rule of law, transparency, responsiveness, consensus-orientation, equity, effectiveness and efficiency, accountability. Administrative law's role in each: Participation: the hearing rights (Unit 5) — the affected citizen inside the decision; Rule of law: the legality discipline (Unit 2) — no power without authority; Transparency: the right to information, the reasoned decision, the Gazette publication (Units 4, 5); Responsiveness: the duty to decide — the mandamus against the silent office (Unit 7); Consensus-orientation: the consultation requirements in rule-making (Unit 4); Equity: the non-arbitrariness command — equality before the administrative power; Effectiveness/efficiency: the tribunals' speed-and-expertise design (Unit 6) — efficiency WITH fairness; Accountability: the writs, the ombudsman, the CIAA, the commissions (Units 7–8).
The Nepali frame: the good-governance statutes and codes (the Good Governance (Investigation and Monitoring) Act 2064; the administration's reform programs) + the constitutional commissions — administrative law as good governance's legal engine, not its decoration. Exam Focus Long questions: (i) Definition, nature, scope and importance (the double face — control AND enable — is the essay's spine); (ii) Constitutional vs. administrative law — the table PLUS the connections (students who write only the differences lose half the marks); (iii) Good governance and administrative law — the eight indicators mapped to the course's units. Short questions: the double face; the six sources; "the constitution in action."
Trick areas: (i) Administrative law is BOTH control and enable — the one-sided "it only limits the administration" answer fails; (ii) The relationship question demands BOTH distinction and connection; (iii) Good governance is not a slogan — tie each indicator to a legal instrument (hearing → natural justice; transparency → RTI; accountability → writs).
