Ratification Post-Petition Invalid | Dismissal of Group-A Employee Without Statutory Authority Violates Natural Justice: Karnataka HC
Karnataka High Court rules that dismissal of a Deputy Registrar by an authority lacking statutory power is void, even if later ratified. The judgment reinforces that ratification post-petition cannot cure jurisdictional defects, entitling the petitioner to reinstatement with full arrears and costs under service law principles.
