Denial of cross-examination in adjudication proceedings alleging fraudulent exports and overvaluation to wrongfully claim duty drawback was held not to violate natural justice. Cross-examination is not an absolute right; the requesting party must show specific prejudice and explain why it is necessary for substantial justice. The request was found vague, unsupported by reasons, and indicative of delaying tactics, particularly where many co-noticees were non-existent or failed to appear and the officials acted in their official capacity.
