The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, stating that a departmental proceeding can be initiated after acquittal in a criminal case. The tribunal erred in quashing the departmental proceedings, as the standard of proof differs between criminal and departmental proceedings. Rule 12 of the Delhi Police Rules allows for initiation of departmental proceedings if prosecution witnesses are found to be won over. The High Court's decision was set aside, and the departmental proceeding was directed to be concluded promptly.
