In Brief
An employee was in service with a management organization but faced termination through an order declining approval of his appointment. The High Court upheld this order without considering whether proper procedural safeguards were followed. The Supreme Court held that any termination of an employee in service requires a show cause notice and a fair opportunity to be heard. The Court set aside the High Court's judgment and directed the competent authority to issue a show cause notice, afford the employee a hearing, and decide the matter on merits within prescribed timelines.
