In Brief
A contractual employee was terminated by her employer after 5+ years of service without a hearing. She petitioned for a declaration that the termination was illegal and violated natural justice. The Court held that since she had accepted the employment terms, which expressly did not require a hearing before termination, no constitutional or statutory right was violated. The Court found the termination order neither arbitrary nor illegal, and dismissed the writ petition as not maintainable, though the employee remained free to appeal to the employer for reconsideration.
