LIMITED art. 10a---'Due process'---Scope and meaning---Due process requirement must be met in the determination of rights and obligations---Constitution does not define due process, therefore, it would not be appropriate to limit its scope by defining it, but this does not mean that the due process requirement is a meaningless concept---Rather due process incorporates universally accepted standards of justice and is not dependent upon any law or laws; it is an all encompassing expression which may not be curtailed with reference to particular laws---Due process is to be understood holistically by keeping in mind the entire Constitution, which excludes arbitrary power, authoritarianism and autocratic rule.
