The court held that the tribunal had erred in its decision, which had denied the teacher back benefits following reinstatement. The case was remanded to the authorities for fresh consideration in accordance with the law.
The ruling underscores the application of FR 54, which governs the payment of arrears of salary and allowances to government servants upon reinstatement after dismissal or removal.
