07.07.2014. Subsequently, he was reinstated by the third respondent on 08.02.2017. Both cases were dropped and referred charge sheets were filed by the CSCID Thoothukudi before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.IV, Thoothukudi on 30.11.2020 and 22.09.2022, respectively. The petitioner was allowed to retire on 30.09.2022. Thereafter, the petitioner made an application on 17.09.2022 to disburse the retirement benefits.
