From the headnote

SeNice Law: c Deemed confirmation - Appointment letter stipulating that the appointee would be on probation for a period of two years which could be extended for another one year - After the employee competed three years of service, her services terminated without holding an inquiry - Held: The status of 0 confirmation has to be earned and conferred - The wider interpretation cannot be placed on the Rule to infer that the probationer gets the status of a deemed confirmed employee after expiry of three years of probationary period as that would defeat the basic purpose and intent of the Rule
