Proper adherence to these principles results in fair and effective decision-making. 2024 Supreme(Online)(KER) 56122
Judicial Procedure and Fairness - Procedures should align with natural justice, avoiding bias and ensuring transparency. While some procedures may be imitated or adapted, they must not violate legal principles. The courts emphasize the importance of lawful, unbiased processes that respect the rights of all parties, including accused persons, and balance law enforcement needs with individual protections.
