Natural Justice in Service Law | Post-Appointment FIR Cannot Justify Termination Without Inquiry : MP HC Gwalior

Madhya Pradesh High Court rules that termination of service based on an FIR lodged after appointment violates principles of natural justice unless a proper inquiry establishes guilt. The court reinstated the petitioner with full arrears, emphasizing that mere registration of an FIR does not constitute valid grounds for arbitrary dismissal under public employment law.
