AJIT SINGH & OTHERS ETC. vs STATE OF PUNJAB & ANOTHER

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the State Government's order to dispense with the services of probationers under the Punjab Trust Services (Recruitment and Conditions of Service) Rules, 1978. The Court held that the Government's action was arbitrary and violated the principles of natural justice, as the petitioners had satisfactorily completed their probation period of one year. The Court ruled that the State Government could not terminate their services without proper justification, thus upholding the petitioners' rights under Article 32 of the Constitution.
