Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's appeal against the Delhi High Court's order, affirming that during probation, the appellant did not acquire any right to the post. The Court ruled that the reasons for termination, based on unsatisfactory performance, constituted motive rather than a foundation for dismissal, thus validating the authority's decision to terminate services. The Court concluded that the High Court did not err in its judgment, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
