Learned counsel for the respondent-State has submitted
that the informant Tinku @ Md. Shamim in his self statement
also during course of investigation supported the allegation that
the petitioner being as a patrolling party had indulged in
beating of the driver of the Tanker, which led to his death. It is
submitted that cause of death is found to be due to nuerogenic
shock in the post mortem report. No other factor could be
attributed to the death of driver when he was driving the
vehicle all along in a fine manner till then. The retraction of the
statement by the informant by cooking up a different story
cannot belittle the gravity of the charges proved against the
petitioner. It is submitted that the acquittal of the petitioner is
based upon no evidence and more so when the prosecution
witnesses themselves turned hostile. Therefore, no significance
can be attached to such acquittal. It is submitted that in such
circumstances, the judgments of the Hon'ble Supreme Court
rendered in the case of State of Karnataka and Anr. Vs. T.
Venkataramanappa reported in (1996) 6 SCC 455 and in the
case of K. Venkateshwarlu Vs. State of Andhra Pradesh

case of acquittal, which is other than honourable, departmental
proceedings may follow. Disciplinary proceeding if pending
against the delinquent, the authority concerned are entitled to
proceed with them independently uninfluenced by the
judgment and in accordance with law. Therefore, there is no
infirmity in the order of punishment, which need not be
interfered under Article 226 of the Constitution of India by this
Court in the present writ petition. The proceedings were held in
a proper manner and after observing the principle of natural
justice.
