MIR MOHAMMAD KHASIM vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court ruled that the appellant, having satisfactorily completed his probation period as Deputy Superintendent of Police Category-2, is deemed to be confirmed in his position as per the order dated 6.10.1989, which relaxed Rule 7(e) of the Andhra Pradesh Police Service Rules, 1966. The Court held that the failure to consider the appellant for selection to the Indian Police Service due to the lack of formal confirmation was unjustified, as the order from the State Government effectively confirmed his status. Consequently, the Court directed that the appellant be considered for selection to the Indian Police Service based on his deemed confirmation.
