Union Of India & Ors vs O. Chakradhar

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Central Administrative Tribunal which set aside the termination of the respondent's services, emphasizing that the termination was based on vague allegations of irregularities in the recruitment process without proper show cause notice, violating principles of natural justice. The Court reiterated that each candidate should be individually notified of any irregularities attributable to them, and the absence of such notice rendered the termination invalid. The High Court's dismissal of the writ petition was affirmed, reinforcing the need for fair administrative procedures under Article 14 of the Constitution.
