    The High Court of Himachal Pradesh quashed the termination of Dr. Bharat Bhushan Bhardwaj's contractual appointment as Medical Officer, finding it violated mandatory conditions requiring one month's prior notice or salary in lieu before termination. The court directed the State to pay one month's salary within three weeks, holding that uniform government policy cannot override principles of natural justice and contractual obligations, though denying re-appointment or service continuity.
