What is quasi judicial body explain with the help of concrete examples?
Answers
Quasi-judicial bodies are organisations with powers to enforce laws and have a judiciary function of deciding upon disputes but aren’t courts. They have a highly specialised function, especially oversee an administrative function, unlike the courts that have the power to supervise over all types of disputes.
Quasi-judicial bodies are conceived to lessen the burden on the judiciary; however, the judgements of these bodies can be appealed to in a court of law.
The Quasi-judicial bodies function on the basis of natural principles of justice or the pre-determined punishments in the violation of law depending upon the gravity of the offence.
The Quasi-judicial bodies also have a mixture of judges who are experts in the law and the administrators who are experts of the function for which the body is constituted for.
