2. The facts of the case are like this:
The 1st respondent has issued a notification, inviting applications for recruitment to the post of Junior Cotton Purchaser (Marketing), the petitioner herein, having all the requisite qualifications, has applied for the post of Junior Cotton Purchaser, passed the written examination as well as interview and he was selected and appointed as Junior Cotton Purchaser and as per the appointment order
A writ petition is not ordinarily maintainable against a show-cause notice or charge-sheet issued by a public authority unless it is wholly without jurisdiction or illegal.
Termination of employment without providing a reasonable opportunity to respond to allegations violates principles of natural justice and is deemed illegal.
A show-cause notice must provide clear grounds and relevant materials to ensure compliance with natural justice principles.
The judgment established the importance of adhering to the principle of natural justice in disciplinary proceedings and emphasized the need for proportionality in imposing punishments for misconduct.
Termination orders should not be a camouflage for punishment and should not circumvent the constitutional provisions, especially in cases of alleged misconduct.
