Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Allahabad High Court's dismissal of the writ petition was indefensible due to the lack of reasons provided in the order, violating principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized that even administrative orders must include reasoning to demonstrate the application of mind, as established in Breen v. Amalgamated Engineering Union. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and directed that the matter be reconsidered with proper reasoning.
