NATURAL JUSTICE IN PRACTICE: AN OVERVIEW OFPRINCIPLES AND APPLICATION

Abstract

The purpose of this essay is to provide an extensive, practical examination of the concept of natural justice. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of natural justice as a mechanism for promoting fairness, accountability, and openness in the decision-making processes of both administrative and quasi-judicial bodies. The field of study concerned with fundamental principles includes, but is not limited to, the principle that prohibits bias (Nemo judex in causa sua), the principle that guarantees the right to be heard (audi alteram partem), and the requirement that conclusions be rational. This delineates the implementation of these notions, particularly in the realms of business administration, government services, and the criminal justice system. The issues that are linked with incorporating natural justice into modern regulatory frameworks, digital governance, and systems that make decisions automatically are also discussed in the abstract. This debate demonstrates how the principles of natural justice are utilized to uphold the integrity of the legal system as well as to increase the level of trust that the public has in governing institutions.
