ABSTRACT
This study provides a fundamental tension between algorithmic, automated decision-making systems and the principles of natural justice (PNJ), with special attention focusing on the Indian constitutional context, public sector organizations all over the globe use algorithms for making decision, those which directly influence human life, e.g., health care, law enforcement, and education. The paper proposes a different constitutional hybrid accountability model grounded in Articles 14 & 21 of the Indian Constitution, this establishes a framework for reconciling technological advancement with natural justice requirements. Through comparative analysis with USA, USSR and drawing on empirical secondary data showing the Indian rapid adoption of AI, ADM systems in governance, administration and judiciary, this research contributes original frameworks, including a Hybrid PNJ and ADM Oversight Framework and a constitutional Accountability Model tailored explicitly for the Indian legal system.
Keywords: Natural Justice, Algorithmic and Automated Decision Making, Constitutional law, Administrative Law, Artificial Intelligence and Due Process.
