OTA RAM Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS appeal is directed against the judgment of the learned Single Judge dated 12. 8. 97, dismissing the writ petition filed by the appellant.

(2.) BRIEFLY, the facts of the case are that the appellant joined service as Dy. Superintendent, Jails, w. e. f. 1. 3. 85 after selection through the Rajasthan Public Service Commission. The appointment letter was issued on 14. 2. 85 and in pursuance thereof, the appellant joined service on1. 3. 85. Since, this was a direct recruitment, the appellant was placed on probation for a period of two years under Rule-28 of the Rajasthan Jails Service Rules, 1959 (hereafter to be referred to as the Rules of 1959 ). Soon after joining, the appellant was sent for training for a foundational course. He completed the training in April/may, 1985.

(3.) SOME further facts need mention at this stage. On 8. 04. 1987, when an order of extension of probation period under Rule 34a of the Rules of 1951 was passed, another order suspending the appellant was also passed. This suspension was, however, revoked on 7. 08. 1987 and, therefore, has no bearing on the case of the appellant.
