Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the termination of services of employees in Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) during their probation period. The Court held that an implicit term in the service regulations indicates that employees are deemed confirmed if the probation period exceeds the maximum term without termination. The Court referenced Section 14 of the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation Act and distinguished the case from previous rulings, ultimately upholding the High Court's decision to allow the Writ Petitions.
