As per case facts, the petitioner, a probationer in the Indian Revenue Service, was terminated from service after being implicated in a bribery case, arrested, and remaining unauthorizedly absent from ... mandatory training. He challenged his termination and suspension before the CAT, which dismissed his applications. The question arose whether a probationer's services could be terminated without a formal inquiry, citing reasons like misconduct and unsuitability, and if the extended suspension was valid. Finally, the High Court held that the termination was valid, being a discharge simpliciter under service rules, as a probationer has no absolute right to the post and can be discharged if found unsuitable. The court found no illegality in the suspension extensions either, distinguishing the case from precedents involving confirmed employees.
