Assertion (A) is not true but Reasoning (R) is correct.
Correct Answer:
Assertion (A) is not true but Reasoning (R) is correct.
Explanation:
Principles of natural justice are not fixed rules. They are flexible and can be molded to suit the requirements of a situation or a specific purpose to do justice in any particular case. For centuries, courts have developed two principles of natural justice, namely the 'rule against bias' and the 'rule of fair hearing'. These principles are not written in any Act. In fact, they are derived from the law of nature.
