Audi Alteram Partem Rule

Legal definition for Indian law research

Definition

Audi alteram partem rule, is not cast in a rigid mould and judicial decisions establish that it may suffer situational modifications. The core of it must, however, remain, namely, that the person affected must have a reasonable opportunity of being heard and the hearing must be a genuine hearing and not an empty public relations exercise, Chota Lal Mehta v. State of Rajasthan, AIR 1980 Raj 123.

Definitions are for legal research. Always verify meaning in the context of the statute, judgment, or jurisdiction cited.
