Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

In A. K. Kraipak vs Union of India, the Supreme Court held that the dividing line between quasi-judicial and administrative functions is thin and that the principles of natural justice apply to administrative proceedings to prevent miscarriage of justice.

Indira Nehru Gandhi vs Raj Narain did not establish this rule.
