JUDGMENT

The petitioner joined the service of the 2^nd respondent University as an Assistant Gr.II on 01.01.2010. According to the petitioner, though his probation ought to have been declared by 01.01.2012, his probation has been declared only on 15.02.2021 with effect from 31.08.2018 by the 2^nd respondent University. On account of this, the petitioner laments that the benefits available in his service like increments etc, if the probation was declared on 01.01.2012, are denied to him. In the afore circumstances, the petitioner has approached this Court seeking to quash Ext.P2 order issued by the 2^nd respondent and in the alternative, seeking for a declaration that his probation should be declared from 01.01.2012. He has also sought for an extension of the increments due to the petitioner from 01.01.2011. He also prays that other benefits which ought to have been extended should also be directed to be granted to him.
