Gurmej Singh vs State Of Punjab & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's directions to prosecute the appellant without providing an opportunity to be heard violated the principles of natural justice, as established in various precedents. The Court emphasized that the right to a fair hearing is fundamental, and any order affecting an individual's rights must be made with due process. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and directed that the appellant be given an opportunity to present his case before any further action is taken against him.
