Reinstate illegally-terminated clerk with full benefits from date of termination: Jharkhand HC

The clerk from a Dhanbad school had been terminated by no fault of his in 1992 saying his appointment was invalid. Umesh Kumar Singh, a clerk who was terminated from JKRR High School, Dhanbad, over three decades ago, was reinstated with full benefits from the date of termination. The Jharkhand High Court ruled. hat Singh was illegally terminated, by no fault of his, and therefore, he should be reinstated and paid all dues for all the years that he should have been in service, and that the same should be taken into account for his retirement benefits too. Singh was terminated in 1992, three years after he was appointed, as apparently his appointment was not officially sanctioned by the district education officer of Dhanbad. Singh approached the High Court in 1993, following which the school was asked to reconsider Singh’s appointment. However, his appeal was rejected. Therefore, Singh filed a writ petition, following which the Court quashed the termination and asked the state to reinstate the clerk.
