The Appellant was appointed on 1st March, 1989 as an Assistant Teacher in the primary section of Madarsa Hanifa Ahle Sunnat Bahrul Uloom, Mau. A copy of the appointment order dated 22.2.1989 is placed on record.

By the said letter, the Appellant was directed to show cause as to why his service should not be dispensed with from the Madarsa. 6. Even thereafter, there is a letter issued on 3.4.1993 wherein his attention was drawn to the earlier letters directing him to improve his performance to which according to Respondent No. 1, the Appellant did not pay any heed or attention. The Appellant was, therefore, intimated that his service now stood terminated in terms of Clause 26 of Rules, 1987. 7.

Learned Counsel appearing for the Respondent Nos. 1 and 2 Mr. Anis Suhrawardy and Mr. Shrish Mishra respectively, however, has drawn our attention to the aforesaid correspondences between Respondent No. 1 and the Appellant.

A constitution Bench of this Court in the case of Akbar Ali Khan (supra) examined relevant provisions contained in Rules 12 and 14 of the UP Subordinate Revenue Executive Service (Tahsildar) Rules dealing with the provision of probation period. The said rule provided that the period of probation would be two years which could be extended by the Board to three years. The Constitution Bench of this Court considered as to whether a probationer stood confirmed after the expiry of the period of probation in paragraph 5 of the said judgment. This Court held in paragraph 5 as follows: The Respondent was posted as a Tehsildar and placed on probation for two years. The .....

If the order of appointment itself states that at the end of the period of probation the appointee will stand confirmed in the absence of any order to the contrary, the appointee will acquire a substantive right to the post even without an order of confirmation. In all other cases, in the absence of such an order or in the absence of such a service rule, an express order of confirmation is necessary to give him such a right.

In the case of Kedar Nath Bahl v. The State of Punjab and Ors. 1974 (3) SCC 21, this Court clearly laid down the proposition of law that where a person is appointed as a probationer in any post and a period of probation is specified, it does not follow that at the end of the said specified period of probation he obtains confirmation automatically even if No. order is passed on that behalf. It was also held in that decision that unless the terms of appointment clearly indicate that co ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
