Arun Kumar Shukla vs Secretary Union Of India on 6 March, 2013
16- We find some force in this submission of the petitioner.
When the petitioner was acquitted on 8.2.2005 and when he submitted a
representation on 21.2.2005, the respondents should have decided the
representation in accordance to law within a reasonable time of atleast
three months. Keeping the matter pending for a period of more than a
year and three months was not appropriate. In that view of the matter, we
are of the considered view that after his acquittal on 8.2.2005, petitioner
is entitled to be treated as reinstated in service and granted the
consequential benefit of arrears of salary after a period of three months
of his submitting the representation on 21.2.2005.
