Keywords:
Administrative Discretion, Neglect of Statutory Duty, Judicial Review in Administrative Law, Accountability of Public OfficialsAbstract
The exercise of discretion in adjudicating disputes related to neglect of duty required by law was an analysis of the neglect of duty of government officials and its effects on people’s rights and well-being. The study focused on the importance of exercising suitable discretion in justice process, developing specific standards of conduct, and training government officials about law and ethics to prevent the abuse of power. Moreover, guidelines for solving the neglect of duty were suggested that included developing clear regulations, setting appropriate penalties, and creating a mechanism for continuous monitoring the performance of duty to ensure transparency and accountability in public service. These measures will promote confidence in judicial processes as well as protect people’s rights efficiently.
