It, however, clarified:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIf an employee is involved in embezzlement of funds or is found indulging in demand and acceptance of illegal gratification, the employer cannot be mulcted with full back wages on the acquittal of the person by a criminal Court, unless it is found that the prosecution is malicious.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Noticing that it was the Appellant who was seeking postponement of the departmental inquiry in view of the pendency of criminal case and that the order of suspension was in contemplation of disciplinary proceedings, the Court said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cthe Respondents took four years to reinstate him by revoking his suspension. The order of suspension dated 23.10.1979 came to an end on 21.03.1983 which is the date on which disciplinary proceedings were dropped. The Appellant ought to have been reinstated immediately thereafter unless a fresh order was passed, placing him under suspension during the pendency of the criminal trial which did not happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court, hence, held that the Appellant is entitled for full wages from 23.10.1979 to 21.10.1987 after adjustment of the amounts already paid towards subsistence allowance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[Raj Narain v.
