Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's ruling that under Rule 105(1) of the Delhi School Education Rules, 1973, a probationer's services are deemed confirmed if they continue beyond the maximum probation period of two years, even without a formal confirmation order. The Court emphasized that the management's decision to extend the probation period for nearly five years indicated satisfactory conduct, leading to deemed confirmation. The appeal by the school was dismissed, affirming the reinstatement of the first respondent with consequential benefits.
