STATE OF T.NADU vs E.RANGACHARI

The Supreme Court set aside the judgments of the Tamil Nadu Administrative Tribunal and the High Court, which upheld the non-inclusion of the respondent's name in the panel for the post of District Registrar due to his suspension during a pending criminal case. The Court noted that the respondent had superannuated from service and directed that if he is acquitted in the criminal case, he would be entitled to all reliefs as per the rules. The appeal was allowed, and the parties were directed to bear their respective costs.
