Sandeep Kumar vs Gb Pant Institute Of Engineering And ...

The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of the appellant's writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution was improper as it was based solely on the non-disclosure of minutes from a Board meeting, which the appellant argued were not intentionally withheld. The Court emphasized that the termination of the appellant's services as Registrar lacked due process, as no inquiry or opportunity to respond was provided prior to termination. The Court ultimately allowed the appeals, setting aside the High Court's judgments and directing the reinstatement of the appellant.
