Kavi Raj & Ors vs State Of J&K; & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the reversion of Assistant Surgeons appointed by the Jammu & Kashmir Public Service Commission. The Court held that the reversion order dated 7.1.1998 was invalid as it violated the principles of natural justice and the terms of the original appointment. The Court emphasized that once appointed, the appellants had a right to continue in their positions unless lawfully removed, thus upholding their appointments and directing their reinstatement.
