Termination without Notice Period - employee is working in a Probation period

Hello Mentors,
Please let me know if an employer can terminate an employee without any Notice Period (Immediately); Please note that an employee is working in a Probation period & the basis of Termination is Poor Performance. Looking for your best guidance.
Thanks in advance

Yes by giving payment in lieu of notice pay

It depends on cases to case basis and the appointment letter and other conditions of service.

Notice period could be dispensed with the Appointment Letter provides such a condition. But the termination should be simpliciter than punitive. If the order of termination is punitive or stigmatic in nature, it becomes mandatory to conduct an inquiry following the procedure and an opportunity to be heard has to be given. Failure to do so may make such termination/discharge illegal and in violation of principles of natural justice.
