Q89 (CDS-I/2022) Polity & Governance › Judiciary › Judicial process basics Answer Verified

Which one of the following terms represents the maxim, ‘no man/person shall be condemned unheard’ ?

Result
Your answer:  ·  Correct: D
Explanation

The Latin maxim 'Audi Alteram Partem' translates to 'hear the other side' or 'let the other side be heard as well'. It is a cornerstone of natural justice, embodying the principle that no person should be condemned or punished without a fair hearing. This rule ensures that every party is granted an opportunity to respond to evidence and defend themselves before a decision is reached. In contrast, the other options relate to the doctrine of double jeopardy: 'Autrefois acquit' refers to a plea of previous acquittal, 'Autrefois convict' refers to a plea of previous conviction, and 'Non bis in idem' is the legal principle that no one should be judged or punished twice for the same offense. Therefore, 'Audi Alteram Partem' is the only term representing the maxim that no man shall be condemned unheard.
