    that:
    A The decision-maker must be impartial and give a hearing to the affected party Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Decisions must favor the government Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only written evidence can be considered Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The decision must always be in favor of the accused Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E There is no need for a hearing Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The principles of natural justice require: (1) "Audi Alteram Partem"—the affected party must be heard, and (2) "Nemo Judex in Causa Sua"—no one can be judge in their own case. These principles ensure procedural fairness and impartiality. The court can interfere if natural justice is breached, as established in A.K. Kraipak v. Union of India (1970) 1 SCC 248. [Citation: A.K. Kraipak v. Union of India (1970) 1 SCC 248]
