In which of the following cases, the Supreme Court of India has pointed out that the rule of nemo judex in causa sua is subject to the doctrine of necessity?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

In "J. Mohapatra & Co. v. State of Orissa, (1984)", the Supreme Court discussed necessity as a narrow exception to the rule nemo judex in causa sua, that no one should decide a matter in which he has an interest. Necessity is not established merely because disqualification is inconvenient; the absence of a legally workable alternative matters.
