Umesh Kumar, posted as Chairman of Godavari Valley Development Authority, was placed under suspension on June 19 for unauthorisedly abstaining from duties.
He was facing a non-bailable arrest warrant in a criminal case filed by the Crime Investigation Department and it was assumed that he was on the run to evade arrest.
The officer contested his suspension and the Union Ministry of Home Affairs, the competent authority, issued an order on August 30 to the state government to revoke it.
Accordingly, state Chief Secretary Minnie Mathew issued an order today revoking Umesh Kumar's suspension and reinstating him into service.
Incidentally, Umesh is in a running feud with his batch-mate and state DGP in-charge V Dinesh Reddy.
The state government recently included Umesh's name in the list of officers eligible to be appointed to the DGP's post and forwarded it to the UPSC.
