Judgment text as reported

PROVINCE OF PUNJAB through Special Secretary, Specialized Healthcare and Medical Education Department, Lahore VS KHADIM HUSSAIN ABBASI Concurrent departmental proceedings and criminal prosecution---Scope---Acquittal in criminal case---Effect---Departmental proceedings and criminal prosecution were not mutually exclusive, and could proceeded independently---Acquittal in criminal proceedings did not affect the outcome of the departmental proceedings---In contrast to criminal proceedings, the departmental proceedings were undertaken under a different set of laws, were subject to different procedural requirements and were based upon different evidentiary principles and a different threshold of proof was to be met---Therefore, acquittal in criminal proceedings could not and did not automatically knock off the outcome of the departmental proceedings if all legal and procedural formalities and due process had been followed independently.
