CORRESPONDENT, ANAIKAR ORIENTAL (ARABIC) HIGHER SECONDARY SCHOOL vs A. HAROON

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the termination of the respondent's employment was invalid due to violation of principles of natural justice, as the management acted in multiple roles of complainant, prosecutor, and judge. The Court emphasized that fair procedure must be followed in disciplinary actions against employees, as mandated by Article 14 of the Constitution. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's order to reinstate the respondent with appropriate compensation.
