The Supreme Court upheld the termination of the appellant's probation as valid, emphasizing that the employer's discretion in probationary appointments is broad under service law. The Court noted that the appellant's performance was unsatisfactory, citing specific deficiencies in work and behavior, which justified the decision under Article 14 and Article 16 of the Constitution. The judgment of the Calcutta High Court affirming the dismissal of the writ petition was therefore confirmed, maintaining the employer's right to terminate probation based on performance evaluations.
