Almost 12 years ago, this Court felt persuaded to pass an order staying further departmental enquiry against the petitioner on the ground that in respect of the charges levelled against him in the departmental enquiry, he was also prosecuted in a Court of law for having committed the offences under Sections 353 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code.
