Inderpreet Singh Kahlon & Ors vs State Of Punjab & Ors

The Supreme Court examined the constitutional framework under Article 315 and Article 320 regarding the establishment and functions of the Public Service Commission. The Court held that the termination of services of certain officers, including direct recruits and allied services, was invalid as it violated the principles of natural justice and due process. The Court emphasized that the procedure for removal of the Chairman of the Public Service Commission must be strictly adhered to, and the allegations against the officers must be substantiated before any punitive action is taken.
