Section 77. Compensation of officers and employees reinstated by court order

Any officer or employee who is removed from a  position  in  the  service  of  the  state or of any civil division thereof in violation of
  the provisions of this chapter, and who thereafter is restored  to  such
  position by order of the supreme court, shall be entitled to receive and
  shall receive from the state or such civil division, as the case may be,
  the  salary  or compensation which he would have been entitled by law to
  have received in such position but for such unlawful removal,  from  the
  date  of such unlawful removal to the date of such restoration, less the
  amount of any unemployment  insurance  benefits  he  may  have  received
  during  such  period.  Such  officer  or employee shall be entitled to a
  court order to enforce the payment of such salary or compensation.  Such
  salary  or  compensation  shall be subject to the provisions of sections
  four hundred seventy-four and four hundred seventy-five of the judiciary
  law for services rendered, but otherwise shall be paid only directly  to
  such officer or employee or his legal representatives.
