Doctrine of Proportionality

-Doctrine of proportionality finds its place in the Administrative Law and is used at the stage of Judicial Review. 

-The doctrine asserts that there must be a reasonable connection between the desired result and the measures taken to reach that goal. 

-The proportionality test provides a tool to determine the constitutionality of an action that limits a fundamental right. It requires that a rights-limiting measure should be pursuing a proper purpose, through means that are suitable and necessary for achieving that purpose and that there is a proper balance between the importance of achieving that purpose and the harm caused by limiting the right.
