S. Janaki Iyer vs Union Of India

The Supreme Court examined whether the principles of natural justice were violated in the dismissal of the appellant from service due to non-supply of the preliminary inquiry report, which was crucial for her defense.

The Court upheld the decisions of the Tribunal and the High Court, emphasizing adherence to procedural fairness and clarity in charges.
