Audi alteram partem (or Audiatur et altera pars) is a Latinphrase that means, literally, hear the other side or hear both sides. It stands for the principle that no one should be condemned without a hearing in which they are given the opportunity to respond to the accusations against them. It is considered a principle of fundamental justice or fairness in most legal systems that the accused should be afforded the right to confront the witnesses against the accused and to examine the evidence presented by the state or prosecution in the process of determining guilt or culpability. It was recently used by the International Court of Justice in the Nuclear Tests case, referring to the concern of France's non-appearance at judgment (Nuclear Tests, 1974 I.C.J. 265.)

Subhash Chandra Singh1 will be welcomed with relief not only by the Universities and other educational authorities but also by legal circles where it was felt that the rule of audialterampartem was being stretched too far and that some restriction should be made on the application of the principle.
It is true that the audialterampartem principle is a very ancient one, deriving strength from a Biblical passage.
These observations only emphasise that there may be exceptional circumstances where the audialterampartem rule need not be complied with especially where the authority concerned is not dealing with an individual case but primarily with broader questions of policy.
