NISHA DEVI vs STATE OF H.P..

The Supreme Court held that the principle of audi alteram partem was violated in the case of Nisha Devi, whose appointment as an Anganwadi Worker was set aside without affording her an opportunity to be heard. The Court emphasized that any decision with serious implications must involve a hearing for the affected party. Consequently, the impugned judgments were set aside, and the matter was remanded to the Divisional Commissioner for a fresh decision with due notice to the Appellant, to be completed within six months.
