SATWATI DESWAL vs STATE OF HARYANA .

The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of the writ petition by the High Court was erroneous as the appellant's termination was executed without a show-cause notice or disciplinary proceedings, violating principles of natural justice. The Court reaffirmed that a writ petition is maintainable even when an alternative remedy exists if there is a violation of fundamental rights or natural justice principles. Consequently, the Court allowed the appeal and reinstated the writ petition for adjudication.
