VASUDEO VISHWANATH SARAF vs NEW EDUCATION INSTITUTE & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of the writ petition without a reasoned order violated the principles of natural justice under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The Court emphasized that fair play and justice require that justice must not only be done but must also appear to have been done. The Court set aside the previous order and directed the lower court to dispose of the writ petition after hearing the parties and passing a reasoned order within four months.
