14. “Indeed, natural justice is a pervasive facet of secular law where a spiritual touch enlivens
legislation, administration and adjudication, to make fairness a creed of life. It has many
colours and shades, many forms and shapes and, save where valid law excludes, it applies
when people are affected by acts of authority. It is the bone of healthy government,
recognized from earliest times and not a mystic testament of judge-made law. Indeed, from
the legendary days of Adam-and of Kautllya'sArthashastra-the rule of law has had this
stamp of natural justice, which makes it social justice. We need not go into these deeps for
the present except to indicate that the roots of natural justice and its foliage are noble and
not newfangled. Today its application must be sustained by current legislation, case law or
other Extant principle, not the hoary chords of legend and history. Our jurisprudence has
sanctioned its prevalence even like the Anglo-American system."Mohinder Singh Gill v.

provide for a different procedure to obtain information. Hence, they cannot be held to be
inconsistent with the RTI Act. Chief Information Commissioner v. High Court of
Gujarat.
