Dear Professional,
Who is pursuing the criminal case? If it is the employer, the opinion of Jiten Sharma holds very true because two different acts are involved: the CrPC and standing orders. Both have different jurisdictions, i.e., they cover different matters. However, if the criminal case is being pursued by another person other than the employer, then another remedy is available.
Please clarify.

Dear all,
In your query, the details are not available. As per the normal procedure:
A person shall be deemed to have been placed under suspension by an order of the appointing authority:
(a) with effect from the date of his detention if he is detained in custody, whether on a criminal charge or otherwise, for a period exceeding forty-eight hours;
(b) with effect from the date of his conviction if, in the event of a conviction for an offense, he is sentenced to a term of imprisonment exceeding forty-eight hours and is not forthwith dismissed or removed or compulsorily retired consequent to such conviction.
An suspended employee will not lose employment until he is convicted by the court of law or terminated or dismissed from service. Until the completion of your case, you are eligible for subsistence allowance. However, it also depends on the decision of the appointing or disciplinary authority regarding the release of Subsistence Allowance during the period of suspension because the appointing authority can stop the payment of subsistence allowance if any Charge Sheet has been drawn by the Police Authority against the employee.

Dear Jiten,
Thank you for your input. However, what I have come to know is that nowadays PSUs are finding novel ways to deal with such situations. This is because in case the employee is found guilty by the court, then he will be terminated subsequently. Now, what happens to the Subsistence Allowance paid during this period - it would have to be written off.
Dear Sunil Sadar,
Could you please provide further information on the points you have raised?
Warm regards.

Dear,
The suspension from duty will arise if the rules provide for it. If there is no rule, then if the detention is for an offense arising during the employment, then disciplinary action can be taken. If not, no action can be taken except when he is convicted by a Court of Law. In the private sector, the employee in such cases hangs in limbo.

Dear,
When a person is placed under suspension, the management is required to pay the subsistence allowance as per the standing orders or the Subsistence Allowance Act, as applicable. However, in the case of undertrial prisoners serving a long term, the management may proceed with action for absence from duty by sending communication to the individual's last known address and terminating their service. Subsequently, no subsistence allowance needs to be paid. If the employee challenges their termination, the management will have a strong defense for the decision to terminate their services.
