BASUDEO TIWARY vs SIDO KANHU UNIVERSITY — C.A. No. 4858/1998

Case Summary: Basudeo Tiwary v. Sido Kanhu University The Supreme Court ruled that the university's termination of Tiwary's services was invalid because it violated natural justice by failing to grant him a hearing before termination. Although Section 35(3) of the Bihar University Act permits termination of irregular appointments without notice, the Court held that an implied requirement of hearing exists to determine whether an appointment is actually irregular. Since no notice or inquiry was provided to Tiwary before concluding his appointment was unlawful and ordering termination, the termination order could not be sustained. The Court declared the termination invalid and directed payment of salary arrears from termination to death.
