What this article will cover
A full salary-calculator article on the principles of natural justice in service matters will cover the two classical rules, audi alteram partem and nemo judex in causa sua, as they apply to a departmental inquiry under the CCS (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965: the right to know the charge, to inspect documents, to cross-examine witnesses and to be heard before a penalty; the rule against bias where the same officer investigates and decides; the requirement of a reasoned or speaking order; the relationship between natural justice and the reasonable opportunity guaranteed by Article 311; and how a breach is tested at the appeal stage under Rule 27(2)(a) and before the Central Administrative Tribunal, with internal links to neighbouring topics on salary-calculator.in and a references section pointing to primary sources.
