Illegality, irrationality, and proportionality are all established grounds for judicial review in administrative law. Public opinion, however, is not a recognized legal ground — courts do not review administrative decisions based on popular sentiment. Judicial review tests legality and reasonableness against legal standards, not public approval ratings. This is fundamental to the rule of law: administrative actions are measured against statutory authority and constitutional principles, not opinion polls.
