18. Upon due consideration of the
charges and the entire evidence available
on record as also the report of the Inquiry
Officer, the Registrar General of this Court,
vide order dated 13.07.2021, exonerated
the applicant from the charges levelled
against
him
in
the
disciplinary
proceedings/departmental inquiry no. 16 of
2020 and subsequently, the suspension of
the applicant was revoked vide order dated
15.07.2021, which is evident from the order
dated 15.07.2021, quoted herein-under:

"Under
the
orders
of
Learned Registrar General dated
13.07.2021, Shri Jagdish Kumar
Singh, (Emp. No. 10834), Assistant
Review
Officer,
High
Court,
Aliahabad is hereby exonerated
from the charge levelled against
him under Rule 3 U.P. Government
Servants Conduct Rules, 1956. in
Departmental Inquiry No. 16 of
2020.
The suspension of Shri
Jagdish Kumar Singh is hereby
revoked immediately which shall be
subject to outcome of criminal
matter registered against him."

19. It would be apt to indicate that
this Court, vide order dated 02.12.2021,
passed in Writ Petition No. 25026 (M/B)
of 2021 (Jagdish Singh vs. State of U.P.
& Others) directed re-investigation/further
investigation in the matter. The operative
portion of the order dated 02.12.2021 is
extracted herein-under:-

"When we examine the
complete facts of this case, what we
find is that the F.I.R. in this case
10 All. Jagdish Singh @ Jagdish Kumar Singh Vs. State of U.P. & Anr.
359
has been lodged by the police
personnel of Police Station Kakori,
District Lucknow and investigation
of the F.I.R. also appears to have
been done by a police personnel
belonging to the same police
station.
In these circumstances, we
provide that the competent officer
of the police department of the
Lucknow Rural shall ensure that
investigation /further investigation
of the F.I.R. is conducted by a
police officer belonging to a police
station other than the police station
Kakori."

20. In compliance of the order
dated 02.12.2021 passed by this Court,
Investigating
Officer
upon
due
investigation submitted his report on
16.04.2022 supporting the charge sheet No.
01 dated 14.07.2020.

21. The aforesaid writ petition was
dismissed as infructuous vide order dated
24.08.2022 by this Court and to recall the
order dated 24.08.2022 an application for
recall was preferred which was also
dismissed by this Court vide order dated
30.09.2022.

22. After the aforesaid, the
applicant challenged the charge sheet No.
01 dated 14.07.2020 and entire criminal
proceedings arsing out of FIR No. 0271 of
2020 dated 13.05.2020 before this Court by
means of APPLICATION U/S 482 No.
2283 of 2023.

23. The applicant on 28.08.2023
also preferred the discharge application
before
Additional
District
Judge-VII,
Lucknow, which was rejected vide order
dated
04.06.2024
and
thereafter,
the
APPLICATION U/S 482 No. 5413 of 2024
was filed.

24. Pressing the application(s) for
the relief(s) sought, learned counsel for the
applicant submitted that in the departmental
proceedings in which witnesses namely Sri
Daya Shankar Singh, Sri Man Singh, Sri
Mohit Singh and Sri Vivek Kumar Singh
were examined and all these witnesses
would be examined before the trial Court as
is apparent from the charge-sheet no. 01
dated 14.07.2020, the charge-sheet no. 02
dated 01.11.2020 and the charge-sheet no.
03 dated 16.02.2021 and after examining
the statements of these witnesses in the
departmental
proceedings,
which
was
initiated in the light of the allegations
levelled in the FIR and the same is the basis
of the pending criminal proceedings and
allegations-charges in both the proceedings
are same/identical, the applicant has
already been exonerated by the order of the
Registrar General of this Court vide order
dated 13.07.2021 and subsequently his
suspension was revoked vide order dated
15.07.2021 and accordingly, no useful
purpose would be served in allowing the
pending criminal proceedings to continue
before the trial court.

25. It is stated that in the
departmental proceedings, the person can
be punished on the preponderance of the
probability and in the criminal trial court,
the prosecution has to establish/prove its
case beyond doubt and when the applicant
has already been exonerated on the same
evidence to keep the proceedings continue
before the trial Court would be futile
exercise.

26. Shri S.P. Tiwari, learned AGA
for the State opposed prayers sought in
above noted applications.
360 INDIAN LAW REPORTS ALLAHABAD SERIES
27. Considered the aforesaid and
perused the records.

28. The question which arises in
the present matter for the consideration of
this Court is that as to whether the
proceedings arising out of Case Crime/FIR
No. 0271 of 2020 which are premised on
same/identical
allegations
on
which
disciplinary proceedings were initiated
against the applicant are liable to be
quashed once the applicant has been
exonerated in the disciplinary proceedings.
