KRISHNADEVARAYA EDUCATION TRUST vs L.A. BALAKRISHNA

The Supreme Court held that during the probationary period, an employer has the right to terminate an employee's services if they are found unsuitable for the job, as per the terms of the appointment. The Court clarified that while an employer should ideally avoid stating reasons for termination to prevent stigma, if a reason is provided, it must be valid and not construed as punitive. The Court set aside the High Court's decision, allowing the appeal and upholding the termination order as valid under the circumstances.
