OIL AND NATURAL GAS COMMISSION AND ORS. vs DR. MOHD. S. ISKENDER ALI

The Supreme Court held that the termination of a probationer's services does not violate Article 311(2) of the Constitution if the employee has no right to the post and the termination is not deemed a penalty. The Court clarified that remarks made during a probationary period are for assessing suitability and do not carry stigma. The appeal was allowed, overturning the High Court's decision that had quashed the termination order, affirming that the employer's discretion in terminating a probationer is valid and does not require a formal inquiry under Article 311.
