Shamsher Singh & Anr vs State Of Punjab on 23 August, 1974

27. The question whether the order terminating the service of a probationer made according to the terms of appointment can never amount to punishment in the facts and circumstances of the case was considered by a Bench of 7 Judges of this Court in the case of Shamsher Singh v. State of Punjab, (1975) 1 SCR 814: (AIR 1974 SC 2192). In that case the services of two Judicial Officers who were on probation were terminated by the Government of Punjab on the recommendation of the High Court under R. 7(3) in Part D of the Punjab Civil Services (Judicial Branch) Rules 1951 as amended. The services of the probationers were terminated without saying anything more in the order of termination. This was challenged on the ground that though the order on the face of it did not attach any stigma, yet the attendant circumstances which led to passing of the order if considered then the orders would amount to have been made by way of punishment violating Art.311 of the Constitution.

After consideration of the rival submissions, it is clear that after going through the law laid down by the Apex Court in the case of Jarnail Singh (supra), it is clear that where an employee, temporary, probationer, adhoc, contractual, etc., is removed from service as per the contract of service/terms of appointments, there is no requirement of compliance of Article 311 of the Constitution of India, but if the termination of his services is founded on misconduct, negligence, inefficiency or other disqualification, then it is a punishment and the requirements of Article 311 must be complied with.
