UNION OF INDIA vs RAJESH VYAS

The Supreme Court upheld the Rajasthan High Court's decision regarding the violation of natural justice principles in the discharge of Air Force personnel under the Habitual Offenders' Policy. The Court emphasized that the show cause notice and the responses must be duly considered before any discharge order is passed, as mandated by the principles of natural justice. The appeals by the Union of India were partly allowed, affirming the High Court's ruling in favor of the respondents in four cases while allowing two appeals where proper procedure was followed.
