Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petition challenging the Madhya Pradesh High Court's decision which upheld the denial of the petitioner's request for legal representation in a domestic enquiry. The Court held that the allegations against the petitioner were not complicated, and thus, the refusal to allow an advocate did not violate principles of natural justice. The Court noted that the right to legal representation is not absolute and depends on the complexity of the case, affirming the High Court's ruling.
