RAJENDRA PRASAD vs STATE OF U.P. .

The Supreme Court held that the cancellation of the allotment of a Fair Price Shop without affording the appellant an opportunity of hearing violated the principles of natural justice under Article 14 of the Constitution of India. The Court found that the High Court's summary dismissal of the writ petition was improper as it did not address the lack of a hearing. Consequently, the Court quashed both the cancellation order and the High Court's dismissal, allowing the appeal.
