Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam ... vs Mohinder Singh (D) Through Lrs

The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of Mohinder Singh from the Haryana State Electricity Board was invalid due to non-compliance with the principles of natural justice, specifically the lack of proper notice as required under Regulation 7 of the Haryana State Electricity Board Employees (Punishment & Appeal) Regulation, 1990. The Court found that the Additional Advocate General, who accepted notice on behalf of the appellants, lacked the authority to do so, leading to a violation of due process. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's order and remanded the matter for fresh consideration.
