Abstract

The ever-increasing expansion of the activities of the government and the executive bodies shows the necessity of taking decisions and measures to organize administrative affairs and ensure the implementation of laws. Despite this necessity, in some cases, the institutions and their officials refuse to take the decision and action that they are obliged to do according to the law. Therefore, in addition to the administrative supervision foreseen in the laws, the judicial supervision of administrative acts is undeniable as one of the important and new challenges of administrative law in order to prevent the violation of citizens' rights.
The uncertainty that exists in this context is whether the court of administrative justice as an administrative judge has the authority to supervise administrative omission or not? The following article, using the descriptive-analytical method, while explaining the concept of administrative omission, comes to the conclusion that, firstly, using the articles (10), (11) and (12) of the Law of the Administrative Court of Justice has the authority to "cancel" and "mandate" and therefore can deal with the administrative omissions. Secondly, the legislator in 1402, while amending the law of the Court of Administrative Justice, made the filing of a complaint in the Court's branches subject to the initial reference to the institution and obliged the institutions to respond to the request of the applicants, which led to the regulation of administrative decision-making, Documenting and justifying decisions and reducing administrative omissions.
