Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Allahabad High Court which reinstated the respondent, a Constable in PAC, after his acquittal in a criminal case. The Court clarified that the respondent would not be entitled to back wages due to the delay in challenging the termination order, which was issued in 1975. The appeal was disposed of with a clarification regarding the non-entitlement to back wages, confirming the lower court's ruling without imposing costs.
