Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the termination of the appellant's services as Chest Therapist was illegal due to the lack of proper procedure and failure to provide necessary documents for defense, violating principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized that the appellant was not informed of the specific grounds for termination, which contravened Article 14 and Article 21 of the Constitution. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the termination order and restore the appellant's service with all consequential benefits.
