- Not Filing Defence Despite Appearance - Main points and insights:
- Non-filing of a defence even after appearance does not necessarily violate principles of natural justice if the proceedings are conducted fairly and the party is given an opportunity to be heard Jai Narayan Prasad Nishad Son Of Late Kokil Prasad Nishad At Present Member Of Rajya Sabha VS Union Of India - Patna.
- The principles of natural justice focus on fairness, reasonable opportunity, and absence of bias, rather than strict procedural adherence M. Baskar VS M. Parameshwari - Madras.
-
Courts have held that non-appearance or failure to file a defence, in certain contexts, does not constitute a violation of natural justice, especially if the party had the chance to participate or was duly informed Abraaj Investment Management Ltd. VS Neville Tuli - Bombay.
-
Analysis and Conclusion:
- The absence of a defence or non-filing after appearance alone is not automatically a violation of natural justice; what matters is whether the party was given a fair chance to present their case.
- Violations typically occur when procedural rules are deliberately flouted or when parties are denied reasonable opportunities to defend themselves, such as being unaware of proceedings or not being provided relevant documents SHIV SHANKER PRASAD DWIVEDI VS DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION - Allahabad, Central University of Jharkhand, through its Registrar, Ranchi VS Harish Mohan, son of Late Jagdish Prasad Sinha - Jharkhand.
- Therefore, non-filing of defence after appearance, in the absence of any denial of opportunity or procedural unfairness, generally does not breach the principles of natural justice Harish Chand Gupta & Another VS Ashok Leyland Finance (A Division of Induslnd Bank Ltd. ,) Registered Office, Chennai & Another - Madras.
