Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of administrative action taken against a teacher, Vimmi Joshi, at Gen. B.C. Joshi Army Public School, following allegations of misconduct involving a Deputy Commander, Col. Hitendra Bahadur. The Court emphasized the necessity of a fair inquiry under the principles of natural justice, particularly in light of the provisions of Article 14 and Article 21 of the Constitution of India. The Court held that the Managing Committee's failure to properly address the complaints against Joshi constituted a violation of her rights, leading to the quashing of the adverse decisions against her.
