ISHWAR CHAND JAIN vs HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's resolution recommending the termination of the appellant's services as Addl. District and Sessions Judge during probation violated Article 311(2) of the Constitution, which provides for protection against dismissal without proper inquiry. The Court found that the High Court relied on non-existent and irrelevant material to conclude the appellant's work was unsatisfactory, and the allegations against him were unsubstantiated. Consequently, the Court allowed the appeal and set aside the termination order.
