N.V. Subba Rao vs Colrporation Bank & Ors

The Supreme Court held that an employee who was suspended and subsequently reinstated is entitled to service benefits, including pension and gratuity, for the period of suspension if the dismissal is set aside and the employee is reverted to their original post. The Court emphasized that the absence of service benefits during the suspension period is unjust, particularly when the dismissal was modified to a reversion. The Court directed that the suspension period should be counted for pension and gratuity purposes, thereby upholding the employee's rights under service law.
