2.4.1. Administrative Incoherence

Unlike other countries ( USA have Administrative Procedure Act, 1946), India does not have an overarching administrative law statute in India. This has meant that laws and regulations developed by different regulators lack coherency and clarity leading to administrative tussle and resultant legal struggles. Regulators in India face the issue of overlapping jurisdictions and unclear guidelines. It is widely witnessed in the case of Competition Commission of India and sector regulators like SEBI, TRAI and CERC.
