In this appeal before the Supreme court of India the termination of the teacher's employment was found to have violated principles of natural justice and constitutional guarantees under Articles 14, ... 16, and 20(2) of the Indian Constitution. The court held that the teacher was not given a fair opportunity to be heard before termination, which was necessary to ensure procedural fairness and uphold constitutional rights. Therefore, the termination was deemed invalid and in violation of the teacher's rights.
