https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=180262 An order placing a Government servant under suspension cannot validly operate retrospectively to cover a prior completed period. The relevant service rules were held to confer only a power to suspend, meaning temporary deprivation of office from the date of the order onward; they did not create a deeming fiction that the employee had been under suspension while already on duty. The rule permitting suspension during a pending criminal charge authorised suspension for the relevant currency of that charge, but not a later order that would erase an antecedent period. The retrospective part of the suspension order was therefore invalid. en-us Tue, 11 Aug 1953 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 19 Mar 2016 12:09:45 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=180262 An order placing a Government servant under suspension cannot validly operate retrospectively to cover a prior completed period.
