W.P. No.5187/2005 (s) 13.12.2011 Shri A. D. Mishra, learned counsel for the petitioner. Shri K. K. Singh, learned counsel for the respondents. Petitioner was convicted for an offence under Section 498-A I.P.C. Vide Judgment dated 6.3.2003 passed by the Ist Additional Sessions Judge, Chhindwara. In view of his conviction, petitioner's services were terminated. Against conviction petitioner filed Criminal Revision No.1797/2003 and in the Criminal Revision it seems that the matter was compromised and therefore, on the basis of compounding of offence, petitioner was acquitted. After acquittal petitioner has been reinstated in service. However, back wages have not been paid to him. Claiming back wages petitioner has filed this writ petition. Considering the fact that petitioner is involved in a Criminal case, he has been acquitted by compounding the offence and his reinstatement is only on the ground of compromise entered into between petitioner and his wife, petitioner cannot claim back wages. In this regard Supreme Court has considered similar questions and has held that no back wages can be granted after an employee is reinstated on his acquittal in a criminal case. The case of Supreme Court is Union of India Vs. Jaipal Singh - 2003 AIR SCW 6635 and Anoop Kumar Shrivastava Vs. State of M.P. - 2002(2) MPJR 31 may be referred to. In view of the above, no case is made out for grant of back wages to the petitioner. With the aforesaid this petition stands disposed of. c.c. as per rules. (RAJENDRA MENON) J U D G E mrs. mishra
