ABSTRACT
The principle of natural justice is a fundamental concept in the legal system that seeks to ensure fairness and impartiality in judicial proceedings. This research paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the principle of natural justice and its significance in the modern legal system. The paper begins with an introduction to the principle of natural justice and its historical development. It then examines the different types of natural justice, namely procedural and substantive justice, and their practical implications in various legal contexts. The paper also discusses the key principles of natural justice, including the right to be heard, the right to a fair and impartial tribunal, and the right to reasons for decisions. Furthermore, the paper analyses the application of natural justice in different areas of law, such as administrative law, criminal law, and international law. Through a critical analysis of relevant case law and scholarly literature, the paper argues that the principle of natural justice is a cornerstone of a just and equitable legal system and must be safeguarded and upheld at all times. The paper concludes by proposing recommendations for further research and reforms to strengthen the application of natural justice in the legal system.
