Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order recalling its previous directive for the Additional Director of Education to consider the appellant's representation regarding the management of Janta Inter College. The Court held that the appellant was not given an opportunity to respond to the recall application, violating principles of natural justice. The Court directed that the representation be considered afresh, ensuring the appellant and other interested parties are heard, thereby upholding the right to fair hearing under Article 14 of the Constitution.
