ABSTRACT

The paper study the power of search and seize inbuilt in many statutes in compliance of Principles of Natural Justice. It is a structure of jurisprudence followed by respective Authorities, as they have overriding power for the protection of public tranquillity and safety which are regulated by the different provision of different statutes dealing the wide area and covering every aspect. The interesting thing is how hideously all the power conferred to officials are checked through compliance of the Principles of Natural Justice. Every Section of various statutes which enables power of search and seizure also mentions of how citizens fundamental rights and principles of natural justice are affected only to negligible extent except in some circumstances. One of the aspects of the Natural Justice Principles is reasoned decision-making, which has effectively become an important component of decision-making processes by judicial, quasi-judicial, or even administrative authorities. This is also the most commonly seen factor in protecting civilians against official authority’s misuse of the power of search and seizure.
