The Haryana government has reappointed 2 IAS officers. 2001 batch IAS officer Vijay Singh Dahiya & 2009 batch IAS officer Jaibir Singh Dahiya were under suspension.
The officers were charged with corruption in separate cases registered by the Haryana anti-corruption bureau (ACB). They were arrested by the ACB in October, but are now being reinstated following grant of bail in November by court.
The state government had last month reinstated 2012 batch IAS officer Dharmender Singh, also an accused in an ACB corruption case, after he was granted bail by a Faridabad court.
As per Rule 3(2) of the All-India Services (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 1969 a civil servant is deemed to have been suspended by the government if he is detained in official custody on a criminal charge or otherwise for a period longer than 48 hours.
The two December 21 personnel department orders, revoking the suspension of the officers, said the government is pleased to reinstate Mr. Vijay Singh Dahiya and Mr. Jaibir Singh Dahiya in service with immediate effect without prejudice to the outcome of the criminal proceedings pending against the two officers.
