Correspondent, Anaikar Oriental ... vs A. Haroon And Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the termination of the respondent's services was invalid due to the violation of principles of natural justice, as the management acted in multiple roles during the disciplinary proceedings. The Court emphasized that the management cannot serve as complainant, prosecutor, and judge simultaneously. The Court also noted the proposal for a monetary settlement of Rs. 50 lakhs as a 'golden handshake' instead of reinstatement, indicating a resolution to the dispute without further litigation.
