A. K. Kraipak & Ors. Etc vs Union Of India & Ors on 29 April, 1969

15 Rules of "natural justice" are not embodied rules. The 37 of 48 ::: Downloaded on - 25-12-2022 09:55:30 ::: CWP-24292-2016 -38- phrase "natural justice" is also not capable of a precise definition. The underlying principle of natural justice, evolved under the common law, is to check arbitrary exercise of power by the State or its functionaries. Therefore, the principle implies a duty to act fairly, i.e. fair play in action. As observed by this Court in A.K. Kraipak & Ors. Vs. Union of India, (1969) 2 SCC 262, the aim of rules of natural justice is to secure justice or to put it negatively to prevent miscarriage of justice. These rules can operate only in areas not covered by any law validly made.
