Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD NAWAZ KHAN VS INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE, PUNJAB, LAHORE Concurrent departmental and criminal proceedings---Acquittal in criminal proceedings---Effect---Civil servant cannot escape departmental proceedings or consequences thereof on account of his acquittal/exoneration on a criminal charge---While facing expulsive proceedings on departmental side on account of his indictment on criminal charge, civil servant may not save his job in the event of acquittal as the department may still have reasons to conscionably consider his stay in the service as inexpedient---Department can assess the suitability of a civil servant, confronted with a charge through a fact finding method, which is somewhat inquisitorial in nature, but it is without the heavier procedural riders otherwise required in criminal jurisdiction to eliminate any potential risk of error.
