Audi Alteram Partem
is a legal maxim which literally means "Hear the other
side". This rule means opportunity of fair hearing to
the other side must be afforded before going for a conclusion
about the guilt of a person e.g.
The other party must be called upon
to explain against the allegations labeled against him,
the other side must have a reasonable opportunity to
adduce his evidence and to cross examine the witness
of other side, order should not be recorded in the absence
of other party etc.
