Arrest-related deemed suspension governs employee pay, disciplinary exposure, absence treatment, and reinstatement following acquittal after conviction is overturned.

Arrest for debt, criminal charges, or detention under legal process results in deemed suspension from the date of arrest or detention, with suspension payment subject to later adjustment. The period is treated as duty on acquittal of all blame or where no improper conduct caused the detention. Imprisonment for debt or conviction involving gross moral turpitude or affecting official duties may attract dismissal or another prescribed penalty. Reinstatement follows where a higher court sets aside the conviction and acquits the employee.
