Violation of natural justice arises where the notice for adjudication does not specify date, time and venue for personal hearing; administrative practice must therefore provide such intimation before a final order is passed, although a fresh show cause notice is not required.

On these grounds the High Court quashed the impugned adjudication and allowed the writ petition.
