Registrar General & Anr vs Jayshree Chamanlal Buddhbhatti

The Supreme Court held that the termination of the respondent's services as a Civil Judge was stigmatic and violated Article 311(2) of the Constitution of India, as she was not informed of the charges against her nor given an opportunity to be heard. The Court emphasized that the minimum requirements of due process must be adhered to, even during probationary periods. Consequently, the Court upheld the Gujarat High Court's decision to reinstate the respondent, finding the termination unjustified.
