Judgment text as reported

FARAZ NAVEED VS DISTRICT POLICE OFFICER GUJRAT Concurrent criminal and disciplinary proceedings against a civil servant---Permissible---Civil servant cannot escape departmental proceedings or consequences thereof on account of his acquittal/ exoneration on a criminal charge arising out of the same impugned transaction; these two are entirely different jurisdictions with different standards of proof as well as procedures---Criminal prosecution requires strict proof through a narrowly jacketed procedure and, thus, State's failure on the criminal side does not provide shield of double jeopardy to a delinquent officer.
