K. RAGUPATHI vs THE STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal of K. Ragupathi against the dismissal of his writ petition by the Allahabad High Court, which challenged the termination of his services as a Senior Scientific Officer at Gautam Buddha University. The court found that the termination was not in accordance with the principles of natural justice, as the appellant was not given an opportunity to be heard before the decision was made. Consequently, the court set aside the High Court's order and directed the university to reinstate the appellant.
