Rajendra vs State Of Maharashtra & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the cancellation of the appellant's appointment as Junior Clerk by the Education Department was invalid as it violated the principles of natural justice, specifically the right to a hearing before such action. The Court emphasized that the abrupt cancellation, without providing reasons or an opportunity to the appellant, contravened Article 14 of the Constitution. The Court set aside the Bombay High Court's dismissal of the writ petition and reinstated the appellant's appointment, affirming the necessity of adherence to procedural fairness in administrative actions.
