A.Dear client it remain an employee and their employment rights continue while he is suspended.yes he can vote. But as a condition of his suspension, his employer may prevent him from speaking to fellow employees and clients/customers of the business. This is lawful unless he can show that it interferes with his ability to answer any allegations that have been made against him.The Hon’ble Bombay High Court in Manohar P. Kharkar and another V/s Raghuraj and another, 1981provide same decision about employees rights. Also refere Kamal Kishore Lakshman V/s Pan American World Airways [1987 I LLJ 107] the Hon’ble Supreme Court decision for shake of information.
