Decided On November 05, 2007
MOHD. ASLAM Appellant
V/S
Municipal Committee And Ors. Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE present appeal under Clause X of the Letters Patent has been filed against judgment dated 8.1.2003 of the learned Single passed in C.W.P. No. 3825 of 1985.

(2.) THE appellant, who had successfully contested the termination of his service before the Labour Court, faced the onslaught of the aforesaid writ petition preferred by respondent Nos. 1 and 2. By the impugned judgment, the said writ petition has been allowed and as a direct fall -out thereof, the appellant faced the prospects of being on the roads.

(3.) RESPONDENT Nos. 1 and 2 had, however, pleaded that there were in existence rules/ bye -laws which provided for probation period to be one year and, therefore, in view of the same, if the service of the appellant had been terminated after seven months of his appointment, they were very well within their right to do so.
