A termination preceded by a show cause notice is not punitive or stigmatic by itself; it becomes punitive only if the order itself records a penal finding or casts stigma. On these principles, the employee was not treated as confirmed on expiry of probation, and the termination was held to be simpliciter, so no interference with dismissal of the writ petition was warranted. en-us Thu, 17 Nov 2005 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 09 Aug 2017 10:50:49 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=193607 Service regulations requiring an express order of confirmation do not create deemed confirmation merely because the maximum probation period expires; where the rules also provide that probation continues until confirmation or termination, harmonious construction prevents automatic confirmation.
