Not allowing me me join my service after getting a bail from HighCourt


25-Jan-2023 (In Labour & Service Law)
I used to work in Railway S&T Division in Damodar under Adra division for many years. In 2013 due to land dispute, I had a little fight with a person and then later convicted in sessional judge court with attempted murder and conspiracy to kill and sentenced to 7 year imprisonment in November 2019. Then my family filled for bail in calcutta high court and got bail after 7 month ( delayed due to corona). In the meantime my senior (senior DSTE) removed me from service and sent mail to my house but it was returned due to house lock and then they posted the notice in notice board. I appeal to ADRM that as I was in prison I couldn't answer the mail so it wasn't the proper way to remove me from service as I wasn't given a chance to speak against the said notice. But they accepted my appeal but gave no answer. Is there a law which says I can join my job after bail until i also gets convicted in high court?

Since your appeal is admitted by Hon'ble High Court you have chances of acquittal. However you definitely have right to be heard before any imposition of punishment and also you have the right of appeal and these are settled positions of law; if these rights are denied you can definitely approach the Court challenging procedural irregularity. Many of my clients got relief this way from our High Court. All the best and regards

Department cannot abstain you from joining unless a department el enquiry & proceeding are done & until you are proven guilty they cannot make you accused & discharge your duty in the department

As per you assertion, you are in Bail; this means you are still not convicted. In this regard your remedy lies both in the civil court as well as High court, as you had been fired without imparting an opportunity of heard. It is better to go through the documents before further commenting to your post!
