Deemed suspension following arrest or detention governs employee payments, disciplinary exposure, reinstatement after acquittal, and unauthorised absence.

Arrest or detention for debt or on a criminal charge places an employee under deemed suspension, with payment subject to later adjustment according to whether the period is treated as duty or leave. Full pay and allowances require treatment as on duty and acquittal or proof that no improper conduct caused detention. Committal for debt or conviction involving moral turpitude or official duties may result in dismissal or other penalties. Acquittal after a higher court sets aside the conviction requires reinstatement.
