In the case of Banshi Dhar (supra), the entire period during which the official remained under suspension was considered for calculating his pensionary benefits and continuity of service had not been denied to him, however, back wages were denied owing to the fact that during the period from 13.07.1976 till the time he attained age of superannuation i.e. in the year 1998, he did not work. Moreover, since the petitioner therein had already attained the age of superannuation, departmental enquiry could not be conducted. Therefore, in the peculiar facts and circumstances, though his service was counted for pensionary benefits, back wages were denied to him.

A.Muralidharan vs The Director General Of Police on 19 December, 2011

"31. The grievance of the appellants, which apparently appears to be the primary reason for filing the appeal, is on account of the direction issued by the learned single Judge in paragraph 36 of the order. The learned single Judge while specifically holding that the power is vested with the competent authority to decide the issue relating to reinstatement and all consequential benefits flowing therefrom, has passed further direction that the competent authority shall pass orders granting all benefits in terms of Regulation 14. The Apex Court in Banshi Dhar v. State of Rajasthan and another reported in (2007) 1 SCC 324 = 2007 (8) MLJ 746 (SC), has held that the question of granting back wages is best left to the competent authority to decide on the merits of each case. Courts do not normally enter into the arena, where the decision is to be taken by the particular authority under the specific rules and regulations prescribed and impose its views as to how the relief should be granted. All that the court is required to do is to ensure that the authority follows the rules and regulations that will apply to the facts of a particular case to avoid an arbitrary, capricious approach to the problem. In this case, the specific direction of the learned single Judge to pass orders in a particular manner may not be justified as Court do not order an authority who is competent to decide the issue to do so in a particular manner. Therefore, the further direction of the learned single Judge has to be interfered with and hence that portion of the order in para 36 directing the appellants to pass orders granting all relief to respondent in terms of Regulation 14 is set aside."
