adminyears ago has won his case for reinstatement with full benefits at the Labour Court.
Mr Bernard Karairwa was stationed at the college in Marondera when he was fired on November 25, 2009 for allegedly misappropriating an unspecified amount of diesel and trying to conceal a traffic accident he had been involved in using an institutional vehicle.
He challenged the decision and Labour Court President Ms Beatrice Chivizhe granted the appeal.
Ms Chivizhe said the Higher and Tertiary Education Ministry had committed procedural irregularities in disciplinary proceedings.
The ministry suspended Karairwa from July 6 to October 6, 2009 but there were no conditions attached to the suspension.
The record did not show what transpired other than the expiry of the suspension period.
Ms Chivizhe ruled that Mr Karairwa be reinstated without loss of salary and benefits with effect from the last date of suspension.
He appeared before a board of enquiry on March 3, 2009 and then a disciplinary authority on August 17, 2009 before he was fired three months later.
He appealed at the Labour Court, arguing that he fully accounted for the fuel consumption.
