Whether a Govt. employee on bail from the court can be permitted to join duty?
KK!HR
A Government employee on bail can be permitted to resume duty without prejudice to the action that can lie based on the outcome of the criminal case, provided the criminal matter has no rational connection with employment. Government rules provide for deemed suspension in case the government employee is detained in custody for more than 48 hours in connection with a criminal case. If it is based on an employment matter then it won't be advisable to revoke the suspension as the accused person can tamper with evidence, influence the witnesses and interfere in the progress of the matter in other ways. But where it is purely personal, like a family dispute or matrimonial matter having no connection with employment, it is better to review the suspension and take appropriate decision considering the pros and cons of its continuance.
