Balakrishnan Nair,J.\n<\/p>\n
     This writ petition is referred to the Division Bench as per<\/p>\n
the following reference order:\n<\/p>\n
     “The petitioner, who is involved in multiple offences and<\/p>\n
     got charge sheeted in several cases, got out of the cases<\/p>\n
     through acquittals, settlement, compounding, etc.      He<\/p>\n
     was placed under suspension during the period of<\/p>\n
     pendency of the criminal cases and reinstated after he<\/p>\n
     was acquitted by Criminal Court. Learned Government<\/p>\n
     Pleader submitted that acquittal is only in one case and<\/p>\n
     in the remaining cases, the matter was compromised. It<\/p>\n
     is seen that petitioner was given all the benefits except<\/p>\n
     salary and allowances during the period of suspension.<\/p>\n
     The claim of the petitioner under Rule 18(iii)(b) of the<\/p>\n
     Kerala Civil Services (C.C.& A.) Rules, 1960 is for salary<\/p>\n
     and allowances during the period of suspension. In this<\/p>\n
     case, even though petitioner was suspended based on<\/p>\n
     the criminal case, no disciplinary proceeding was<\/p>\n
     continued against petitioner and the same was dropped<\/p>\n
W.P.(C)NO. 28660\/2003            -2-<\/span><\/p>\n
      after he was acquitted by the Criminal Court. The Rule<\/p>\n
      above referred provides for automatic grant of service<\/p>\n
      benefits to an employee whose conviction and sentence<\/p>\n
      are set aside in appeal. If this principle is applied in<\/p>\n
      petitioner’s case, he is entitled to full wages and<\/p>\n
      allowances during the period of suspension because<\/p>\n
      disciplinary proceedings were not continued after his<\/p>\n
      acquittal by Criminal Court.      I am of the view that<\/p>\n
      disciplinary proceedings and conviction in criminal case<\/p>\n
      are entirely different.  Convicted persons get acquittal<\/p>\n
      from Appellate Court on various grounds. However, in<\/p>\n
      the disciplinary proceedings, if there is clear evidence of<\/p>\n
      mis-conduct by the employee, punishment should be<\/p>\n
      imposed irrespective of out come of the proceedings of<\/p>\n
      the Criminal Court, where the employee probably would<\/p>\n
      have been charge sheeted. The above Rule provides for<\/p>\n
      automatic restoration of service benefits to the employee<\/p>\n
      after acquittal in a criminal case by any Court at any<\/p>\n
      stage.    I feel, the Rule will not help maintenance of<\/p>\n
      discipline among Government servants. In many cases,<\/p>\n
      where the accused get acquittal, Civil Courts pass decree<\/p>\n
      upholding the claim of victims arising from same<\/p>\n
      transaction. Similarly, I am of the view that disciplinary<\/p>\n
      proceedings should be an independent proceeding and<\/p>\n
      it’s fate should not merely depend on the ultimate result<\/p>\n
      in a criminal case. In other words, if there is sufficient<\/p>\n
      evidence to prove indiscipline on an employee though<\/p>\n
W.P.(C)NO. 28660\/2003             -3-<\/span><\/p>\n
      initiated based on a criminal case, the result of such<\/p>\n
      disciplinary proceeding should not be neutralised by<\/p>\n
      judgment of Criminal Court.       Having regard to the<\/p>\n
      importance of the issue, I refer this case for decision by<\/p>\n
      Division Bench, particularly to consider the validity of the<\/p>\n
      above Rule.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
     2. Rule 18 of the Kerala Civil Services (C.C.& A)Rules, 1960<\/p>\n
deals with the entitlement for salary and allowances of an<\/p>\n
incumbent,     who was     dismissed or removed from service on<\/p>\n
conviction by a criminal court and later the conviction is set aside<\/p>\n
on appeal or revision. In this case based on his conviction by the<\/p>\n
criminal court, he was never removed or dismissed from service.<\/p>\n
Therefore, the above said Rule has no application to the facts of<\/p>\n
this case.    Therefore, it is  unnecessary to consider the point<\/p>\n
referred by the learned single Judge.\n<\/p>\n
     3. The brief facts of the case are the following:            The<\/p>\n
Kunnamanglam police registered a crime against the petitioner<\/p>\n
as Crime No.184\/1992 for the offence punishable under Sections<\/p>\n
120B, 417, 420 and 465 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal<\/p>\n
Code. He was the first accused in that crime and his wife was the<\/p>\n
second accused. The allegation was that the petitioner’s wife<\/p>\n
W.P.(C)NO. 28660\/2003             -4-<\/span><\/p>\n
was running a furniture mart and the petitioner issued a cheque<\/p>\n
to one of the parties, who was having          dealings    with the<\/p>\n
furniture mart. The cheque leaf used was relating to the Bank<\/p>\n
account of his wife. But the petitioner put his correct signature in<\/p>\n
the cheque leaf . So the cheque was dishonoured and the party<\/p>\n
filed a complaint       before the Magistrate’s court which was<\/p>\n
referred to the police under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. Later, the<\/p>\n
police filed final report in that case against him.     There were<\/p>\n
three other cases also concerning the issuance of three more<\/p>\n
cheques in similar circumstances, it is submitted.     Finally in all<\/p>\n
those cases he was acquitted. His wife was acquitted by the trial<\/p>\n
court itself. The acquittal of the petitioner in one case was by<\/p>\n
the appellate court. In other cases the acquittal was based on<\/p>\n
compounding.\n<\/p>\n
      4. With the registration     of the aforementioned crime in<\/p>\n
1992, he was placed under suspension by Ext.P1 order dated<\/p>\n
29-12-1992. Finally, when in all the cases he was acquitted, he<\/p>\n
moved the       District Collector for reinstatement by filing     a<\/p>\n
representation, a copy of which is produced as Ext.P2.          The<\/p>\n
District Collector passed Ext.P3 order on his representation. It<\/p>\n
W.P.(C)NO. 28660\/2003            -5-<\/span><\/p>\n
was ordered to treat the period he was out of service as eligible<\/p>\n
leave and also to recover the subsistence allowance paid to him<\/p>\n
during the above period.          On appeal, the Land Revenue<\/p>\n
Commissioner affirmed the order of the District Collector as per<\/p>\n
Ext.P4 dated 5-2-2003. The petitioner moved the Government<\/p>\n
by filing Ext.P5 petition. The said petition was allowed by the<\/p>\n
Government by Ext.P6 order dated 4-7-2003. The Government<\/p>\n
ordered to treat the period from14-12-1992 to 31-7-2002 during<\/p>\n
which he was under suspension, as duty for all purposes except<\/p>\n
for salary and allowances. It was also ordered that he is eligible<\/p>\n
to get the subsistence allowance for that period. The petitioner<\/p>\n
is aggrieved by the said direction. He claims entire salary for the<\/p>\n
period he was suspended. Claiming that relief, this writ petition<\/p>\n
is filed.\n<\/p>\n
       5. The third respondent has filed a counter affidavit stating<\/p>\n
that the petitioner was not acquitted of blame. The benefit of<\/p>\n
doubt was extended to him and he was acquitted. Some cases<\/p>\n
were compromised or compounded and thereby he wriggled out<\/p>\n
of liability. Therefore, he is not liable to get the full pay and<\/p>\n
allowances, it is stated in the counter affidavit.<\/p>\n
W.P.(C)NO. 28660\/2003            -6-<\/span><\/p>\n
     6. We heard the learned counsel on both sides. We are of<\/p>\n
the view that the case of the petitioner is covered by Rule 56(b)<\/p>\n
and Rule 57 of Part I of the Kerala Service Rules. The petitioner<\/p>\n
claimed full pay and allowances on acquittal of the criminal cases.<\/p>\n
The competent authority has to decide,          in the light of the<\/p>\n
aforementioned Rules,      whether the petitioner is entitled to get<\/p>\n
the full salary and allowances or not. In this case, we find that<\/p>\n
the Government have not considered the above aspect in the<\/p>\n
light of the relevant   Rules.   Though     the Government      have<\/p>\n
defended its order by filing a counter affidavit, we feel that the<\/p>\n
reasons urged by the Government before this Court should have<\/p>\n
found a place in the impugned order. Ext.P6 being a statutory<\/p>\n
order affecting the rights of the parties, its validity has to be<\/p>\n
tested with reference to the grounds mentioned therein and not<\/p>\n
based on those supplied in the form of counter affidavit.<\/p>\n
     7. In view of the above position, we are of the view that the<\/p>\n
Government       should reconsider the matter after affording an<\/p>\n
opportunity of being heard to the petitioner. Accordingly, Ext.P6<\/p>\n
to the extent it says that the petitioner is eligible to get only the<\/p>\n
subsistence allowance for the period he was kept out of service<\/p>\n
W.P.(C)NO. 28660\/2003            -7-<\/span><\/p>\n
pursuant to Ext.P1        suspension order is set aside.    The<\/p>\n
Government shall afford an opportunity of being heard to the<\/p>\n
petitioner and pass fresh orders on the claim of the petitioner<\/p>\n
for full salary for the above period in the light of the above<\/p>\n
mentioned Rules within four months from the date of receipt of a<\/p>\n
copy of this judgment.\n<\/p>\n
      The writ petition is disposed of as above.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
