Order released without giving opportunity to reply is contrary to the principles of natural justice


Last updated: 11 December 2024
Quick Summary
The Madras High Court has ruled that issuing an order without providing a proper opportunity to respond to a Show Cause Notice (SCN) is a breach of natural justice principles. In this case, the petitioner argued that the order was passed without proper notice, while the respondent claimed the notices were posted online. The court agreed that the petitioner should have had a chance to reply and set aside the original order.
