U.P. Co-Op Spg. Mills Federation ... vs Ram Pratap Yadav & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the removal of Shri Ram Pratap Yadav from the service of the U.P. Co-operative Spinning Mill Federation Limited was invalid as it violated Regulation 87 and Section 84 of the U.P. Co-operative Societies Employees Service Regulation, 1975, which mandates prior approval from the U.P. Co-operative Institutional Service Board before such action. The Court emphasized that the absence of this approval rendered the disciplinary action unlawful. Consequently, the Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the removal order and restore the respondent's position.
