It is right that in civil jurisprudence the yardstick for proof is 'preponderance of probability' but in departmental inquiry satisfaction of that principle alone is not sufficient. Some concrete proof to substantiate the charges are necessary.

Yes. You are right. Report of the inquiry officer will not stand judicial scrutiny.
