When a suspended officer is reinstated, an order which is different in content and quantity from that of suspension takes effect. The suspended officer, on reinstatement goes back to service. A further order may have to be passed as to in what manner the period of suspension will be treated when the order of reinstatement is found to have reverted to him to his status anterior of suspension. When the suspended employee is dismissed, the link with his service is snapped and naturally the order of suspension merges in the dismissal.
