Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the termination of the Respondent's services as an Inspector under the Nursing Council Act, specifically referencing Section 13 regarding inspections and the authority of the Executive Council. The Court held that the termination was invalid as it was executed by the President without the jurisdiction of the Executive Council, thus violating principles of natural justice. The Court ruled in favor of the Respondent, reinstating her position and emphasizing the need for adherence to statutory procedures in employment matters.
