IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.11160 of 1989 (O&M) Date of decision: 14.03.2011 Dr. Mantrini Prasad ....Petitioner versus Panjab University, Chandigarh and others ....Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN ---- Present: None for the petitioner. Mr. Atul Kaushik, Advocate, for respondents 1 and 2. None for respondent No.3. ---- K.Kannan, J. (Oral) There is no representation for the petitioner. The matter relates to a challenge of termination order of a person, who was a probationer. The contention of the petitioner was that he had been dismissed for flimsy reason. A person, who is a probationer, is liable for termination without any reason and it cannot be avail to a petitioner to contend that a termination has been effected without assigning any appropriate reason, unless the issue of mala fide is taken, which however, does not exist in the petition. A challenge to termination simpliciter for a person, who is in probation, cannot arise. The petition is dismissed. (K.KANNAN) JUDGE 14.03.2011 sanjeev
