Reinstated govt servants entitled to pay arrears: HC



Reinstated govt servants entitled to pay arrears: High Court The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has ruled that if a government employee suspended or dismissed after being convicted in a criminal case is reinstated after acquittal by a higher judicial forum, he is entitled to arrears of pay and allowances for the period of absence.

"The Fundamental Rules governing certain service conditions of the Government employees are clear on this aspect," the Bench, comprising Justice Chitra Venkataraman and Justice M Duraiswamy, said, allowing a writ appeal by a Village Administrative Officer (VAO).

A single judge in February last year had directed Tamil Nadu government to reinstate the VAO from Tiruchirappalli district as he had been acquitted in a corruption case but refused to order payment of back wages.

The appeal had been filed against the portion of the order denying back wages.
