(1.) THESE two writ petitions can conveniently be disposed of by a single order as there is some connection between the two.
(2.) THE petitioner was appointed as Assistant Director in the Industries Department on December 10, 1975 and was promoted as Deputy Director on adhoc basis on June 26,1978. He was confirmed on the post of Assistant Director on September 27, 1982 with effect from August 17, 1981. Thereafter, he was promoted as Deputy Director, Industries Department on probation for a period of one year on November 4, 1982.
(3.) AGGRIEVED of the order dated June 27, 1984, the petitioner filed writ petition No. 1806 of 1984. The petitioner in that writ petition claims that he had already been confirmed on the post of Deputy Director, Industries, and that order could not have been recalled. In the alternative, it has also been urged that after the expiry of period of probation the petitioner must be deemed to have been automatically confirmed and therefore, also the order recalling his confirmation is bad.
