Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed an appeal challenging the High Court's direction to cancel the appellant's license as a Post Office agent without her being a party to the proceedings. The court found that the High Court erred in issuing such directions without providing the appellant an opportunity to be heard, thereby adversely affecting her livelihood. The Supreme Court emphasized the necessity of due process and fair hearing in judicial proceedings.
