Administration of justice is the backbone of any legal system, providing for the interpretation, enforcement, and protection of laws to ensure social order and individual rights. This research examines the institutional structure of justice administration, with major elements including the judiciary, law enforcement agencies, legislative institutions, and correctional facilities. In addition, it explores theories of punishment—retributive, deterrent, preventive, reformative, and expiratory—and discusses their philosophical underpinnings as well as impact on contemporary penal policies. The comparison of different legal systems from other nations showcases the different weighting given to retribution, deterrence, rehabilitation, and restorative justice. Also, it deals with the problems of judicial inefficiencies, prison overcrowding, and rights of victims and suggests reforms in making the justice system more equitable and efficient. By examining the interaction of justice administration and punishment theories, this study joins the debate in legal reforms geared towards increasing justice, lowering recidivism rates, and improving a more just legal system
