Nemo Judex in Causa Sua | Chief Secretary Cannot Revise His Own Appellate Order Under Town & Country Planning Act : HP HC

The Himachal Pradesh High Court struck down a revision order issued by the Chief Secretary against his own appellate decision, affirming that even high-ranking administrative officers cannot act as judges in their own cases. This ruling reinforces that natural justice applies to all quasi-judicial functions, regardless of rank, and invalidates internal review mechanisms that bypass impartiality.
