Is opportunity of hearing a right even if the law under which order is passed has no provision for the same ?

Right to be heard is one of the principles of the Natural Justice.
It is not necessary that a particular act or code or provision shall mention that the defending party will be heard.
Giving an opportunity for hearing shall not invite any illegality in the matter.

I do agree with Kiran. There is no requirement of writing the right of natural justice.
