18.10.2022 6.

1. This matter is taken up through hybrid mode.

2. Learned counsel for the parties are present. Judgment prepared in separate sheets is delivered and pronounced in open Court in the presence of learned counsel for the parties and the order is passed accordingly as follows:-

3. Principles of natural justice are those rules which have been laid down by the courts as being the minimum protection of the rights of the individual against the arbitrary procedure that may be adopted by a judicial,

// 2 // quasi-judicial and administrative authority while making an order affecting those rights. These rules are intended to prevent such authority from doing injustice.

6. In such view of the matter and in the light of the above discussion and decisions, this Court is of the opinion that the Governing Body has manifestly erred in issuing the order of suspension dated 10.07.2014 without having accord to the principles of natural justice and hence, the order of suspension dated 10.07.2014 is hereby set aside.

7. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is disposed of. (Dr. S.K. Panigrahi) Judge B.Jhankar
