Snadeep Jhanjharia vs Govt. Of Nctd & Anr. on 24 July, 2017
16. We have also considered the judgment of the co-ordinate Bench in the
case of Deepa Tomar (supra) on which the reliance has been placed by the
learned counsel for the petitioner and find that in this case, the Division
Bench of this Court after considering the judgment whereby the employee
had been acquitted, had come to a categoric conclusion that there was no
evidence to prove the charges against her and, therefore, no aspersion could

be cast on her character regarding her alleged involvement in the criminal
case. In view of these special facts alone the Court had come to the opinion
that there was no justification for cancellation of the canditature of the
Petitioner threin. Thus, it becomes evident that it is not the mere use of
words „benefit of doubt‟, or otherwise, which is conclusive to decide as to
whether the candidate should be considered for employment or not.
