Rampal vs State Of Haryana & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the cancellation of the appellant's caste certificate violated the principles of natural justice, as he was not given an opportunity to be heard before the cancellation. The Court emphasized that the authorities must provide a hearing and a reasoned order regarding the caste certificate dispute. Consequently, the impugned order of the High Court was set aside, and the Tehsildar was directed to resolve the matter within three months.
