Natural justice
Natural justice, the aim of the rules of natural justice is to secure justice or to put it negatively to prevent miscarriage of justice. These rules can operate only in areas not covered by any law validly made. In other words they supplant the rules of natural justice which are not embodied rules. What particular rule of natural justice should apply to a given case must depend to a great extent on the facts and circumstances of that case, the frame-work of the law under which the enquiry is held and the constitution of the Tribunal pointed for the purpose, A.K. Kraipak v. Union of India, AIR 1970 SC 150: (1969) 2 SCC 262.Historically, 'natural justice' has been used in a way 'which implies the existence of moral principles of self-evidence and unarguable truth'. In course of time, judges nurtured in the traditions of British jurisprudence, often involved it in conjunction with a reference to 'equity and good conscience'. Legal experts of earlier generations did not draw any distinctio...

Enlargement or abridgement of time
Enlargement or abridgement of time, Order VI, r. 2(14) of the Supreme Court Rules, 1966 speaks of applications for enlargement or abridgement of time. Here the words 'enlargement or abridgement of time' take in applications for enlargement of time appointed by the Rules. The significant feature in the Rules is that applications for condonation of delay in filing special leave petition are excepted from the business of a Chamber Judge. The natural presumption is that but for the exception the Rule would have included also applications for condonation of delay in filing special leave petitions. Any application for con-donation of delay in filing petition of appeal is included in application for enlargement or abridge-ment of time, C.I.T., Bombay City v. R.H.

Alien
Alien [fr. alienigena, alibi natus, Lat.], a person not born within His Majesty's dominions and allegiance (q.v.). See definitions in the British Nationality and Status of Aliens Acts, 1914 and 1933, infra. At common law aliens were subject to very many disqualifications, the nature of which is shown by the (English) Act of 1844, 7 & 8 Vict. c. 66, which greatly relaxed the law in their favour. It provided, inter alia, that every person born of a British mother should be capable of holding real or personal estate; that alien friends might hold every species of personal property except chattels real; that subjects of a friendly power might hold lands, etc., for the purposes of residence or business for a term not exceeding twenty-one years; and it also provided for aliens becoming naturalized.Alien, (UK) is a person who is neither a Common-wealth citizen nor a British protected person nor a citizen of the Republic of Ireland.

Supplemental Bill, Bill in the nature of a
Supplemental Bill, Bill in the nature of a. this bill and the above-named bill were usually confounded together; but a prominent distinction between them seems to have been that a supplemental bill was properly applicable to those cases only where the same parties and the same interest remained before the Court; whereas an original bill, in the nature of a supplemental bill, was properly applicable when new parties with new interests, arising from events which have happened since the institution of the suit, were brought before the Court, 2 Dan.
