B.K.GUPTA... (ADVISOR)     01 September 2012

Sc-larger bench-31.8.2012

The Larger bench of the Supreme Court in a judgment delivered on 31.8.2012 held:

"
      We are,  therefore,  of  the  opinion  that  the  exoneration  in  the
departmental proceeding ipso facto would not result  into  the  quashing  of
the  criminal  prosecution.   We  hasten  to  add,  however,  that  if   the
prosecution  against   an  accused  is  solely  based  on  a  finding  in  a
proceeding and that finding is set aside by the superior  authority  in  the
hierarchy, the very foundation goes and  the  prosecution  may  be  quashed.
But  that  principle  will  not  apply  in  the  case  of  the  departmental
proceeding as the criminal trial and the departmental  proceeding  are  held
by two different entities.  Further they are not in the same hierarchy."
