Normally, yes. But the judgement of acquittal is not binding upon the employer. An enquiry can still be instituted and departmental proceedings can be initiated. The standard of proof required for conviction is different for arriving at a finding of guilt in departmental enquiry and the employee can still be punished. Therefore, reinstatement is NOT automatic or a matter of right.
