Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the termination of a probationer's services does not require an inquiry if the appointment letter explicitly states that termination can occur without notice or reason. The Court found that the High Court erred in requiring evidence of unsatisfactory work to justify termination, as the respondent was on probation and the employer's assessment was sufficient. The Court upheld the termination order, reversing the High Court's decision that deemed the termination arbitrary and unsustainable in law.
