Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of administrative action taken against a teacher, Vimmi Joshi, at the Gen. B.C. Joshi Army Public School, following allegations of harassment against her by Col. Hitendra Bahadur. The Court emphasized the importance of procedural fairness and the necessity for a written complaint to initiate any disciplinary action, as per the principles of natural justice. The Court held that the failure to receive a formal complaint precluded the Chairman of the School Managing Committee from taking action, thereby upholding the decision of the High Court.
