Resultantly, the present appeal is partly allowed, to the extent that the appellant will also be entitled for the full back-wages also from 13.12.2005, i.e. the date of his release till his acquittal i.e. 25.02.2009. The appellant shall also be entitled for interest @ 6% per annum on the said amounts which have to be granted on account of the State wrongly denying him the said benefits in spite of the rule providing so.” MOHD AYUB 2025.09.09 10:53 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this order/judgment.
