https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=472814 Criminal acquittal on benefit of doubt does not bar a departmental inquiry or require the disciplinary authority to reach the same result. Departmental proceedings apply the preponderance-of-probabilities standard and are not controlled by criminal evidentiary rules. Non-examination of a complainant does not invalidate disciplinary findings where other witnesses and relevant material corroborate the charge. When accepting inquiry findings, the disciplinary authority need not separately address every representation point. In intra-court writ review, concurrent factual findings may be disturbed only for perversity or an apparent legal error; reappreciation of supported evidence is impermissible. These principles support the continued operation of disciplinary dismissal. en-us Tue, 04 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 26 Oct 2026 20:24:44 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=472814 Criminal acquittal on benefit of doubt does not bar a departmental inquiry or require the disciplinary authority to reach the same result.
