Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a writ petition under Article 32 concerning the rejection of a reinstatement application for an Additional District Judge. The petitioner argued that her resignation constituted constructive dismissal due to the employer's conduct, violating her rights under Articles 14, 15, 16, and 21 of the Constitution. The Court ultimately ruled in favor of the petitioner, directing her reinstatement with continuity of service and back wages, emphasizing the principles of natural justice and fair treatment in employment.
