Union Of India (Uoi) vs Hasmukhbhai P. Raijada on 7 February, 2004
It is the case of the petitioner that the order of the
Tribunal denying backwages to the petitioner for the period
from his dismissal to reinstatement is an order which is not in
accordance with law. The petitioner was dismissed from
service on conviction. Subsequently, the conviction was set
aside as a result of which the petitioner was reinstated in
service. The Tribunal though interfered with the order of
dismissal, did not grant him the benefits of backwages on the
principle of 'No Work No Pay'. Mr. Sudhanshu Jha, learned
advocate for the petitioner has placed reliance on a decision
of this Court in the case of Union of India vs. Hasmukhbhai
P. Raijada [2004(2) GLH 437].
