Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of service terminations of Civil Judges (Trainee) under the Madhya Pradesh Judicial Service (Classification, Recruitment and Conditions of Service) Rules, 1955. The Court held that the Full Court's discretion in confirming or terminating services post-probation is valid, provided it follows due process and gives adequate opportunities for improvement. The appeals were partly allowed, with the Court upholding some terminations while reinstating others, emphasizing adherence to procedural fairness under the Rules.
