Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the termination of probationary employees in Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC), emphasizing that under the applicable service regulations, employees are deemed confirmed if not terminated by the end of the probation period. The Court upheld the High Court's decision that the implicit term in the service regulations prevents termination post-probation without proper grounds. The appeals by KSRTC were dismissed, affirming the employees' rights to confirmation after the probation period as per the established legal principle.
