This Connect provides a brief overview of the judgement of the Supreme Court in the Jai Prakash Saini v. Managing Director U.P. Cooperative Federation Ltd. & Ors case, where it held that if an employer conducts enquiry without following the principles of natural justice and denies an employee the opportunity of oral hearing, then termination order made on the basis of such enquiry shall stand invalid. Further, such employee shall be entitled to be reinstated in the post with applicable benefits.
