STATE OF U.P. vs MAHENDRA NATH TEWARI

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Allahabad High Court which had set aside the termination of the respondent's services as a Constable in the PAC, following his acquittal in a criminal case. The Court clarified that while the respondent's reinstatement was warranted, he would not be entitled to back wages due to the delay in challenging the termination. The judgment referenced Writ Petition No.46061 of 1998, confirming that no back wages were awarded in that case either.
