Summary of Case:	"Solaiappan was the sanitary supervisor in Mamsapuram, Tamil Nadu, India when he was wrongly convicted on November 24, 2005 of public corruption. Solaiappan had appealed his conviction, and while it was pending he was removed from service on December 22, 2008. The Madras High Court set aside Solaiappan's conviction and acquitted him on April 11, 2011. The Court ruled the prosecution had failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubts and the sanction granted for prosecuting him was not in order. After Solaiappan was denied reinstatement to his job, he filed a lawsuit in 2012. In 2013 a judge ordered his reinstatement, with continuity of service and back wages. The Executive Officer of Mamsapuram Panchayat in Virudhunagar appealed the ruling. In February 2016 the Madras High Court affirmed the judge's order. The Court ruled a public "employee reinstated in service, on acquittal, should be denied back wages and continuity of service… Once the conviction is set aside by an appellate court, the stigma is removed. Thus, the employee should be restored to his original position as if he was not removed and continued to be in service all along,”"
