Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's dismissal of the Writ Petition filed by the delinquent employee, which lacked reasoning, was not valid in law. The Court emphasized that an order without reasons is no order at all, thus necessitating its setting aside. The matter was remanded to the High Court for fresh disposal, ensuring that the parties are afforded an opportunity to be heard.
