Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court interpreted Section 115 of the Haryana Co-operative Societies Act, 1984, in the context of disciplinary proceedings against a Chief Accounts Officer of a cooperative society. The Court held that the principles of natural justice were violated as the respondent was not provided with the enquiry report or the depositions of witnesses, leading to an unfair dismissal. The judgment emphasized the necessity of fair procedure in disciplinary actions, ultimately setting aside the dismissal order.
