PRAKASH TATIA, J.\n<\/pre>\n<p>Mr. MR Singhvi, for the petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>Mr.PK Lohra, for the respondents.\n<\/p>\n<p>     Heard learned counsel for the parties.\n<\/p>\n<p>     The petitioner was dismissed from the service only<\/p>\n<p>because of the reason that petitioner was convicted in a<\/p>\n<p>criminal case under Section 302 IPC vide judgment dated<\/p>\n<p>2.8.1983.   No departmental inquiry was conducted by the<\/p>\n<p>respondents against the petitioner and as stated above, he<\/p>\n<p>was dismissed from service only because of his conviction<\/p>\n<p>dated 2.8.1983.      The petitioner&#8217;s appeal against the<\/p>\n<p>conviction i.e., DB Cr. Appeal no.303\/1983 was allowed on<\/p>\n<p>5th Sept., 2007 (Annex.7) and petitioner was acquitted from<\/p>\n<p>the charge referred above.\n<\/p>\n<p>     The petitioner&#8217;s contention is that the very cause on<\/p>\n<p>the basis of which, the petitioner&#8217;s service was terminated<\/p>\n<p>itself has fallen to the ground and, therefore, the order of<\/p>\n<p>termination of service of the petitioner (Annex.3) deserves<\/p>\n<p>to be set aside and in fact, that order should have been<\/p>\n<p>withdrawn by the respondents.\n<\/p>\n<p>     Learned counsel for the respondents could not dispute<\/p>\n<p>this fact that no departmental inquiry was held for taking<\/p>\n<p>any disciplinary action against the petitioner and he was<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                               2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>dismissed from service only because of the reason that<\/p>\n<p>petitioner was convicted vide judgment and order dated<\/p>\n<p>2.8.1983. However, this fact is also clear from the Annex.3<\/p>\n<p>itself. Learned counsel for the respondents in that situation<\/p>\n<p>submitted that even if the order dated 22.8.1983 dismissing<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner from service (Annex.3) is set aside even then<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner is not entitled to any back wages because of<\/p>\n<p>the   reason that   prosecution   was   not    lodged   by the<\/p>\n<p>respondents and, therefore, the prayer of the back wages<\/p>\n<p>may be denied.\n<\/p>\n<p>      I considered the submissions of learned counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>parties and perused the facts of the case.\n<\/p>\n<p>      From Annex.3 it is clear that petitioner was dismissed<\/p>\n<p>from bank services w.e.f. 2.8.1983 i.e., from the date of the<\/p>\n<p>conviction of the petitioner.     It is admitted case that<\/p>\n<p>petitioner has not been punished in departmental inquiry<\/p>\n<p>because of any of the misconduct and he has been<\/p>\n<p>straightway   dismissed   from    service     because   of   his<\/p>\n<p>conviction only. That conviction has been set aside by the<\/p>\n<p>judgment of this court dated 5th Sept., 2007 delivered by<\/p>\n<p>the Division Bench of this Court. Therefore, the very basis<\/p>\n<p>for the order dated 22.8.1983 has come to an end with the<\/p>\n<p>acquittal of the petitioner on 5th Sept., 2007. The order of<\/p>\n<p>dismissal of the petitioner, therefore, cannot be sustained<\/p>\n<p>and deserves to be set aside.           However, since the<\/p>\n<p>prosecution was not lodged by the respondents-employer,<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>therefore, the respondents-employer cannot be held guilty<\/p>\n<p>for preventing the petitioner from discharging his duties<\/p>\n<p>and, therefore, the respondents cannot be burdened with<\/p>\n<p>the back wages of the petitioner from 2.8.1983 to 5th Sept.,<\/p>\n<p>2007, the date on which, the petitioner was acquitted by the<\/p>\n<p>Division Bench of this Court in a criminal case.<\/p>\n<p>      In view of the above reasons, the writ petition of the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner is allowed. The order dated 22.8.1983 (Annex.3)<\/p>\n<p>dismissing the petitioner from bank service is set aside.<\/p>\n<p>However, the petitioner shall not be entitled to any back<\/p>\n<p>wages from 2.8.1983 to 5th Sept., 2007.         The petitioner<\/p>\n<p>shall be entitled to other notional benefits and continuity of<\/p>\n<p>service as well as other monitory benefits, which can be<\/p>\n<p>granted as per the rules of the respondents. The petitioner&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>claim for promotion may also be considered by the<\/p>\n<p>respondents and if found eligible only then the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>can be granted that promotion. It is made clear that<\/p>\n<p>petitioner has already attained the age of superannuation<\/p>\n<p>before acquittal, therefore, the petitioner shall not be<\/p>\n<p>entitled to seeking reinstatment now. The respondents are<\/p>\n<p>directed to    complete the process within a period of 4<\/p>\n<p>months from today as according to learned counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner, the petitioner is cancer patient.<\/p>\n<p>                                      [PRAKASH TATIA], J.\n<\/p>\n<p>cpgoyal\/-<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rajasthan High Court &#8211; Jodhpur Suraj Mal Jaipal vs State Bank Of Bikaner &amp; Jaipur Ors on 17 February, 2010 1 S.B.
