K.K.Gohil vs State Of Gujarat & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the withdrawal of the higher grade scale granted to the appellant was unjustified as it was based on the failure to pass a departmental examination that had not been conducted for 12 years. The Court emphasized that the principles of natural justice were violated as the appellant was not given an opportunity to be heard before the withdrawal. The Court reinstated the higher grade scale, affirming the need for adherence to procedural fairness as mandated under Article 14 of the Constitution of India.
