DAKSHIN HARYANA BIJLI VITRAN NIGAM L&ORS vs MOHINDER SINGH (D) TH 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 and the procedural requirements 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, resulting in the appellants being unaware of the proceedings. Consequently, the Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the dismissal and remand the matter for fresh consideration.
