Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed multiple civil appeals arising from Special Leave Petitions, emphasizing the need for adherence to procedural fairness and the principles of natural justice as enshrined in Article 14 of the Constitution. The Court reiterated that any decision affecting rights must be made after giving an opportunity to be heard, thereby reinforcing the doctrine of audi alteram partem. The appeals were allowed, and the matter was remanded for reconsideration in light of the principles laid down.
