In Brief
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's summary dismissal of a writ petition filed by a bank employee challenging his termination dated 2 August 2000. The High Court had dismissed the petition in a brief order without hearing the appellant or considering his submissions for reinstatement and arrears. The Supreme Court held that natural justice requires the High Court to afford a fair opportunity of hearing before deciding such matters. The appeal was disposed of by remitting the writ petition to the High Court for fresh disposal after hearing the appellant.
