Tamil Nadu government revokes suspension order of 1990 batch IAS C Umashankar

A 1990 batch Tamil Nadu cadre IAS C Umashankar, whose suspension created a political divide in the state, got a reprieve as the state government on Thursday revoked the suspension order. Former Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa openly defended the suspended IAS and the state BSP went one step ahead in resorting to postering in the cities in solidarity of the suspended IAS.

Umashankar was suspended on the charge of furnishing false information to obtain his community certificate. He has been posted as managing director of the Tamil Nadu Small Industries Corporation (Tansi). A government order said that as an inquiry had already been initiated against him, the government "has considered, and revokes the suspension of C Umashankar, with effect from the afternoon of September 2, 2010".
