RAM KUMAR KASHYAP vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court examined the legality of the suspension of the Chairman and 8 members of the Haryana Public Service Commission under Article 317(1) of the Constitution of India. The Court held that the suspension was invalid due to the violation of the principles of natural justice, as the petitioners were not given a show cause notice or an opportunity to be heard prior to the suspension. Consequently, the Court quashed the order of suspension dated 09.08.2008.
