IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No. 595 of 2011 Date of Decision: 12.10.2011. Baljinder Singh Sra --Petitioner Versus The High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh through its Registrar & another --Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE PERMOD KOHLI. HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE TEJINDER SINGH DHINDSA. Present:- Mr. R.K. Malik, Sr. Advocate with Mr. Vishal Malik, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Anmol Rattan Singh, Advocate for respondent no.1. Ms. Anu Pal, A.A.G., Punjab for respondent no.2. *** PERMOD KOHLI.J (ORAL) Petitioner was appointed as a Judicial Officer pursuant to the selection made in the year 2008. He was on probation for a period of two years. Unfortunately, his services were dispensed with during the probation. Mr. Malik, learned Senior Advocate has referred to a report of the Committee comprising of three Hon'ble Judges of this Court, which seems to have persuaded the High Court to dispense with the services of the petitioner. It is contended on behalf of the petitioner that the Committee has taken into consideration some letter of S.S.P., Ludhiana which formed the basis for dispensing with the services of the petitioner. We have perused the report of the Committee for review of work and conduct of the probationer Judicial Officers (Annexure P-40). Even though the Committee has referred to the letter of S.S.P., Ludhiana, however, the Committee was of the opinion that the work and conduct of CWP No. 595 of 2011 -2- the officer is not satisfactory. Thus, the Committee seems to have reviewed the overall work and conduct of the petitioner. It is settled proposition of law that dispensing with the services of a probationer during probation is not stigmatic in nature. Thus, without going into the contentions raised, suffice it to say that the order is not stigmatic in nature. Mr. Malik has also stated at the bar that the petitioner does not want to go back into Judicial Service. In view of the above, this petition is disposed of with the observations that the order impugned is not to be construed as stigmatic in nature. (PERMOD KOHLI) JUDGE (TEJINDER SINGH DHINDSA) JUDGE 12.10.2011. lucky
