Judgment text as reported

GHULAM MURTAZA SHEIKH VS The CHIEF MINISTER, SINDH Departmental inquiry and criminal proceedings stemming from the same offence---Standard of proof---Standard of proof required in a departmental inquiry is not analogous to the standard of proof which is considered necessary in the criminal trial---Departmental inquiry stems from the charges of misconduct where the standard of proof depends on the balance of probabilities or preponderance of evidence but not a proof beyond reasonable doubt, which is a strict proof required in criminal trials.
