Criminal Prosecution On Same Allegations Can't Continue If Accused Exonerated In Departmental Proceedings: Allahabad HC

The Allahabad High Court ruled that a criminal prosecution based on the same allegations for which an individual has already been exonerated in departmental proceedings cannot continue. This judgment upholds the principle that once a person is cleared of charges in one forum, the same issue cannot be retried in another, ensuring fairness in legal processes.
