Khazia Mohammed Muzammil vs State Of Karnataka & Anr

The Supreme Court held that under the Karnataka Judicial Services (Recruitment) Rules 1983, a probationer can only be discharged if the appointing authority determines unsuitability and issues a formal order. The Court found that the appellant was not given any adverse remarks or a show-cause notice during his service, and thus, the notification discharging him was arbitrary and contrary to the rules. The Court set aside the High Court's dismissal of the Writ Petition and ruled in favor of the appellant, confirming his status as a District Judge.
