1 - 3 of 3 (0.50 seconds)A. K. Kraipak & Ors. Etc vs Union Of India & Ors on 29 April, 1969
In the case of A.K. Kraipak and others v. Union of
India and Others,(1) a list of State Forest Officers
prepared by the Selection Board for appointment to posts in
the senior and junior scales in the Indian Forest Service
was set aside by this Court on the ground that the
officiating Chief Conservator of forests, whose name was
placed at the top of the list, was a member of the Selection
Board even though he was not present at the time his name
was considered for selection and even though the Selection
Board was a recommendatory body and the list prepared by it
was to be considered first by the Home Ministry and then by
the Union Public Service Commission by whom the final
recommendations were to be made. The Court held that the
rule that no man should be a judge in his own cause was a
principle of natural justice and applied equally to the
exercise of qashi-judicial as well as administrative powers.
