Dowry 498A

Does a 498A charged person be removed from job. Is this a basis for termination of service.

CCS rules say that a government servant is put behind the bars for more than 24 hours, he can be suspended.  But it is not being strictly implemented for the reason that the employer sees it only a family dispute and is not moral turpitude.  Hence, if he is not convicted, he can feel safe.  If it is a private sector job, there is not much need to worry.  If there is no such provision in the appointment letter or certfied standing orders he cannot be removed.  Even though, Section 498-A is put in I.P.C., generally it is being treated as civil dispute.
