MEPS Act Section 9 | Forced Retirement Without Chargesheet or Cross-Examination Violates Natural Justice: Bombay HC
Bombay High Court quashes forced retirement of a permanent employee under the MEPS Act, 1977, ruling that non-issuance of a chargesheet and denial of cross-examination rights vitiate the disciplinary action. The judgment reinforces that procedural fairness is non-negotiable in service law, impacting all private school employees governed by the Act.
