Capt.M. Paul Anthony vs Bharat Gold Mines Ltd. & Anr on 30 March, 1999

29. Mr Hariharan had in the passing also referred to the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Capt. M. Paul Anthony v. Bharat Goldmines Ltd. and Anr.: AIR 1999 SC 1416 and contended that in that case, the Court had not permitted parallel proceedings and had held that the departmental proceedings ought to be stayed in cases, where the same was premised on the allegations that were subject matter of the criminal proceedings initiated against the allegedly delinquent employee. This contention is insubstantial. The Supreme Court had not laid down any proposition of law to the effect that departmental proceedings were required to be stayed, if criminal proceedings regarding the same subject matter, were pending. On the contrary, the Supreme Court had referred to various earlier decisions and concluded that departmental proceedings and proceedings in a criminal case could proceed simultaneously and there was no bar in doing so. However, the Court had also stated that in certain cases, where department proceedings and criminal cases are based on identical and similar sets of facts and the criminal case against the delinquent employee is of a grave nature, which involves complicated questions of law and fact, it may be desirable to stay the departmental proceedings till the conclusion of the criminal case. This Court is of the view that the said decision would have no relevance in the facts Signature Not Verified Signed By:Dushyant Rawal Location: W.P.(CRL.) 1230/2020 Page 19 of 31 Signing Date:03.11.20 and circumstances of this case.
