Mir Mohammad Khasim vs Union Of India And Ors

The Supreme Court ruled that under Rule 7(e) of the Andhra Pradesh Police Service Rules, 1966, an employee's probation can be deemed completed upon satisfactory performance, as confirmed by a government order. The Court held that the appellant, having been declared to have satisfactorily completed his probation, was entitled to be considered for selection to the Indian Police Service, despite being initially overlooked due to a lack of formal confirmation. The Court ordered that the appellant's name be included in the selection list, thereby upholding the principle of deemed confirmation in service law.
