3 Difference between Judicial and Quasi-Judicial Procedures

The judicial procedure: the court's full trial — the parties, the evidence, the reasoned judgment, the execution; the constitutional judge; the appeal-ladder. The quasi-judicial procedure: the administrative body's adjudication — the administrative agency deciding rights with a court-like process (the notice, the hearing, the decision): the Nepali map: the administrative tribunals-and- offices — the Revenue Tribunal (the tax appeals); the land offices (the Land Reform-and-Land Revenue adjudications); the Public Service Commission's appeal-and-discipline machinery; the departmental tribunals (the civil-service's adhikrit tribunal; the security forces' boards); the labour courts-and-tribunals (the Labour Act's machinery); the CIAA's investigative-and-case- lodging quasi-judicial face; the local judicial committees (the Constitution's Article 217 — the elected quasi-judiciary, Family Law's Unit 7).

The prescribed authorities (the syllabus's two quasi-judicial classics): Narayanhari Gajurel v. Civil Service Commission (NKP 2051, No. 12, D.No. 5019) and Chandrakala Devi Rajputani v. Land Reform Office (NKP 2044, No. 10, D.No. 3227) — the prescribed decisions on the administrative bodies' quasi-judicial procedure (the CSC's-and-land-office's adjudications before the courts' review): read the reports for the specific holdings; the pair's placement marking this exact boundary — the administrative decision's process-and-review. The principles' application: the natural-justice floor (Unit 2) binding the quasi-judicial bodies (the notice-hearing-reasons); the record-and-jurisdiction review (the writ court's discipline: the error-of-law, the jurisdictional excess, the bias — not the merits' re-trial); the exhaustion principle (the statutory appeal's prior use — the Kallu Tharu channel lesson's application).
