A Reflection on the Supervisory Competence of the Administrative Justice Court on the Decisions of the Quasi-Judicial Authorities with a Look at the Court's Decisions

Judicial supervision over decisions and rulings issued by judicial authorities is one of the most important guarantees of a fair and just trial, through which it is possible for the higher judicial authorities to reconsider these decisions. This issue is also very important in quasi-judicial authorities. While this issue is one of the most important guarantees for the realization of the principle of the rule of law, it is also an important solution to deal with the violation of public authorities within the limits of their powers and authorities. This type of supervision over the Iranian legal system is exercised through the general courts of justice and, of course, often by the Court of Administrative Justice and achieves the mentioned goals. This issue has been considered in Article 173 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran and in paragraph 2 of Article 10 and Note 2 of Article 16 and Article 63 of the Law on the Procedure of the Court of Administrative Justice. In this regard, in view of the various ambiguities and complexities regarding the subject under discussion, the present study addresses the question of the specific jurisdiction of the Court in supervising quasi-judicial authorities. In this regard, the mentioned ambiguities have been examined in light of the rulings of the Administrative Court of Justice in a descriptive-analytical method, and finally it has been concluded that despite the relative unraveling of the rulings of the Administrative Court of Justice, the scope of authority and supervision of the Administrative Justice Court over the opinions and decisions of quasi-judicial authorities remains controversial. The solution requires numerous scientific discussions and strengthening the judicial procedure of the Administrative Justice Court.
