Senior Uttar Pradesh cadre IAS officer Abhishek Prakash (IAS:2006:UP) has been reinstated after nearly a year of suspension. His reinstatement will be effective March 15.
The UP Governor has issued an order for his reinstatement. However, the ongoing departmental inquiry against him will continue even after his reinstatement.
The Legend Officer had reported on Friday that the state govt is in the process of reinstating Prakash.
Prakash had been placed under suspension on March 20 last year on serious charges of corruption after being accused of demanding a bribe from a solar company in exchange for project approval when he was posted as Invest UP CEO.
But only two days ago, the Allahabad High Court had dismissed the chargesheet filed against him due to lack of concrete evidence, following which preparations for his reinstatement were completed at the departmental level.
According to government sources, a report in this regard is to be sent to the Union Ministry of Personnel before the suspension period expires.
