Violation of Natural Justice: Adjudication on the Same-Day Without Hearing is an ‘Eyewash’
The Hon’ble Uttarakhand High Court in the case of Poddar Ispat Pvt. Ltd. held that passing an adjudication order on the same day as filing of reply, without intimating or affording a meaningful personal hearing, violates the principles of natural justice under Section 75(4) of the Act, and such hearing is a mere “eyewash.”
