Hi, A person is deemed to be not guilty and innocent until and unless the person/Accused is convicted by law of the land. Incase, the PSU Company initiate such act, you may seek legal assistance. Need not worry. For more information, feel free to have a word with me.

There was lot of misuse of section 498 A in the past, supreme Court has taken suo motto in this regard.. Since your case is under process of litigation, and the charges are yet to be​ proved against you under such circumstances the PSU or any government or semi government can't pass a suspension order ( they are not above justice) against any employee.
