Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of the validity of certain appointments made by the State of Uttar Pradesh, holding that such appointments must comply with the principles of natural justice and the relevant statutory provisions. The Court emphasized that failure to adhere to these principles could render the appointments void. Consequently, the appeals were allowed, and the appointments were quashed for not following due process as mandated by law.
