If an administrative body goes beyond power given by law and affects citizen rights, which principle may become active?

Judicial control and constitutional remedies

The governing principle is the rule of law: every public authority must act within the power granted by law and respect constitutional rights. When an administrative body exceeds its jurisdiction, an affected person may seek judicial review or an appropriate constitutional remedy. The court can examine legality, procedural fairness and compatibility with rights, and may set aside an unlawful action or issue directions. Option A is correct because it combines judicial control with the remedy available for rights protection. B describes the abuse being challenged, while C and D would remove the safeguards that constitutional government requires.
