The Supreme Court addressed multiple civil appeals concerning the validity of certain government orders affecting service conditions of employees under the Rajasthan government. The Court held that the principles of natural justice must be adhered to in administrative actions, particularly when they affect the rights of employees, as mandated by Article 14 and Article 21 of the Constitution. The Court quashed the impugned orders and directed the State to reconsider the matters in accordance with the law, ensuring fair procedure is followed.
