B. No one shall be condemned unheard
C. Rights are better than duties
D. None of the above
Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
The Latin maxim 'audi alteram partem' translates to "hear the other side" or "no one shall be condemned unheard." This principle is a fundamental aspect of natural justice and procedural fairness in legal proceedings. It implies that all parties involved in a dispute should have the opportunity to present their side of the case and provide evidence before a decision is made. The principle ensures that decisions are made based on a complete and unbiased understanding of the situation, and it upholds the right to a fair hearing for all parties.Option A: No one shall be judge of his own cause
This option is incorrect. The maxim "nemo iudex in causa sua" pertains to the principle that no one should be a judge in their own case. It emphasizes the importance of impartiality in legal proceedings.
Option C: Rights are better than duties
This option is incorrect. The maxim "rights are better than duties" is not directly related to the principle of 'audi alteram partem.'
Option D: None of the above
This option is incorrect. The correct answer is Option B: No one shall be condemned unheard, as it accurately represents the meaning of the maxim 'audi alteram partem.'

Sir,
Audi alteram partem meaning "listen to the other side", or "let the other side be heard as well". It is the principle that no person should be judged without a fair hearing in which each party is given the opportunity to respond to the evidence against them. Therefore, "No one shall be condemned unheard" is not correct translation. Please consider correction as may be deemed necessary.
