Secr.,S.Aachi Women'S College & Anr vs C.Jaishankar & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the Madras High Court's Division Bench erred in reversing the Single Judge's order without providing cogent reasons, as required under service law principles. The Court emphasized that a non-speaking order from the Appellate Bench cannot be upheld, particularly when the Single Judge found that the employee had abandoned his job. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the Division Bench's order and remitted the matter for fresh consideration, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case.
