Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in dismissing the appellant's writ petition without providing an opportunity for a hearing, thereby violating principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized that the appellant had no alternative remedy to challenge the termination order dated 2.8.2000. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's judgment and restored the writ petition for a fresh hearing.
