Search and seizure - clandestine production and clearance - Rule 26 of the Central Excise Rules, 2002 - It is, however, well to remember that natural justice is no unruly horse, no lurking landmine, nor a judicial cure-all - Unnatural expansion of natural justice, without reference to administrative realities and other factors of a given case, can be exasperating - Unnatural expansion of natural justice, without reference to administrative realities and other factors of a given case, can be exasperating - The doctrine of natural justice cannot be imprisoned within the strait-jacket of a rigid formula, and its application depends upon the nature of the jurisdiction conferred on the administrative authority, upon the character of the rights of the persons affected, the scheme and policy of the statute and other relevant circumstances disclosed in a particular ease - It is evident, therefore, that no prejudice was caused to the appellant on their being denied the opportunity of cross-examining Sri Om Prakash Sharma when its Managing Director had himself accepted the said statement to be true - Appeal is dismissed
