In the circumstances<br \/>\nof the case, there is nothing wrong in continuing the departmental enquiry against the appellant during the pendency of a criminal prosecution against him. The Court of enquiry in the criminal trial and the domestic enquiry is not entirely identical and the standards of it also in both these enquiries differ.
