UNION OF INDIA vs MAHAVEER C.SINGVI

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of discharging a probationer from service under the Indian Foreign Service, emphasizing that such discharge must adhere to principles of natural justice and fair play. The Court held that the Respondent's discharge was arbitrary as it did not follow the established procedure for language allotment and training, which was detrimental to his career progression. Consequently, the Court set aside the discharge order, reinstating the Respondent and affirming the need for adherence to procedural fairness in administrative actions.
