Question Details

Legal Principle: One of the principles of 'Natural Justice' states that, "No person shall be a judge in his own cause".
Facts: A, a driver of B, a Branch Manager of ABC Bank was caught, suspecting theft, in the bank premises. The Bank management instituted an enquiry and made B the enquiry officer.
Which of the following statements is correct?

Options

As B is a Bank Manager and not a judge, this principle is inapplicable.

Since the suspected theft was in the bank premises, the manager is the only competent person to enquire. Hence, the principle is not applicable.

Since B is the employer of A, B should not be conducting the enquiry on the basis of the given principle.

The principle will be applicable, only if the theft committed by A was in relation to the car.
