Ritesh Maity (Labour Law Advocate) 23 May 2016
If an employee who is convicted under criminal law by a court, after completion of his imprisonment is entitled to get his job back unless he was terminated due to some misconduct which is also a result of such criminal case. If that is NOT the case, then the employee will be entitled to his old job. However, the employer can put break in service during the period of his absence due to imprisonment.
In your case, since the company suspended him during the time of his imprisonment, then the company is liable to withdraw the suspension as soon as he is out of prison and allow him to join duties immediately.
