The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has quashed the dismissal order imposed on a government servant, now retired from service, and directed the State government to restore all monetary benefits to him. The court took into account the fact that the departmental inquiry was initiated against him based on a circular issued after the said incident.
The court was hearing the petition filed by M. Chelliah. A charge memo was issued to him in 2007 when he was working as Sub Registrar in Palayamkottai Sub-Registrar office. During a surprise inspection in the office in 2005, he was found with a bag containing ₹83,000. The second charge against him was that he was constructing a building without prior permission.
