The Supreme Court held that the termination of Respondent No.1's services was valid as it occurred at the end of the probation period, which was reduced to one year under the amended bye-laws. The Court emphasized that the employer has the discretion to terminate probationary employees based on performance, as per the principles of Service Law. The High Court's order setting aside the termination was overturned, affirming the Appellant's decision to terminate due to unsatisfactory work performance.
