This query is : Resolved
Sir, My brothter was selected as a constable in Bihar Police but 02 days before joining the post he surrendered in the court of law. He was falsely implicated in a rail robbery case with various section like 497. the case is pending in the court. Sir my query is whether we can make an appeal to be instated in bihar police as a constable at this stage.
Can he will be considered for other govt jobs if acquitted.
Whether being a accused will have any impact on antecendent in joining the govt jobs after acquittal also. sir please clarity.

If your brother gets acquitted from the criminal case beyond any reasonable doubt then definitely he shall be able to join any govt. job including the police but at this stage, it is not possible.

Aquitaine should be on merit and not on procedural /technical grounds.

The word "acquitted" is enough. He is eligible for the Govt job.
Whether acquittal is on merits or not is a matter of consideration for revocation of suspension, where in the departmental enquiry is also initiated on the same cause of action.

I do endorse the clarification of Ld. Arunagiri. Acquittal entitles such employee to join his service again.

I wish I could agree to the view of Mr Aunagiri.
First of all this is not a case of suspension. He has been booked even before he could join.
Secondly he is seeking advise on the prospects of joining other job.
Mere acquittal does not give a right to join service (or getting reinstated if already in service. I

Specific order is definitely required to be taken by the department but acquittal definitely entitles for that situation and only this point was highlighted by Aruanagiri and endorsed by me.
