1. This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner under

Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking quashing of the

departmental enquiry initiated against him vide charge-sheet

dated 20.07.2021 or in the alternative for a direction to the

respondents not to proceed with the departmental enquiry during

the pendency of the criminal proceedings arising out of FIR No.

94/2020 registered under Section 7 of the Prevention of

Corruption Act, 1988.

2. The facts, in brief, are that the petitioner was posted as

Deputy Registrar, Cooperative Societies, Sirohi and in the course

of his official duties, he had conducted an enquiry under Section

57 of the Rajasthan Co-operative Societies Act, 2001 against one

Shri Rajaram, the then Manager of Rohida Gram Sewa Sahkari

Samiti Ltd., District Sirohi, on allegations of misappropriation of

funds. Upon conclusion of the enquiry proceedings, the petitioner,

by order dated 05.12.2019, held the said Rajaram guilty of

embezzlement to the extent of Rs. 4,99,336.50 out of the alleged

amount and directed recovery of the said amount along with

interest at the rate of 12% per annum. It is the case of the

petitioner that the said order was duly communicated to Rajaram

immediately after its passing.

3. Subsequently, after a lapse of about seven months,

Rajaram lodged a complaint before the Anti-Corruption Bureau on

18.06.2020 alleging that the petitioner had demanded a bribe of

Rs. 10,000/- for providing certified copy of order dated

05.12.2019 and other documents. Acting upon the said complaint,

a trap was allegedly laid and FIR No. 94/2020 came to be

registered on 19.06.2020 for offence under Section 7 of the

Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The criminal case is stated to

be pending trial.

4. Thereafter, the respondents initiated departmental

proceedings against the petitioner under Rule 16 of the Rajasthan

Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1958

(hereinafter to be referred as ‘the Rules of 1958’) and issued

charge-sheet dated 20.07.2021. The charges in the departmental

(Downloaded on 29/04/2026 at 07:18:52 PM)
[2026:RJ-JD:19616] (3 of 14) [CW-439/2023]

enquiry are founded upon the same allegations which constitute

the subject matter of the aforesaid criminal case.

5. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner has approached this

Court contending that continuance of the departmental

proceedings during pendency of the criminal trial would cause

serious prejudice to him.

6. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the

departmental enquiry and the criminal proceedings are based on

identical facts, allegations and evidence. It is submitted that the

complainant, witnesses and documents in both proceedings are

common and the foundation of the charge in both proceedings is

the alleged demand and acceptance of illegal gratification. It is

further argued that if the departmental enquiry is allowed to

proceed, the petitioner would be compelled to disclose his

defence, which would seriously prejudice his case in the criminal

trial. Reliance is placed upon the judgment of the Hon’ble

Supreme Court in Capt. M. Paul Anthony vs. Bharat Gold

Mines Ltd. & Another,(1999) 3 SCC 679 as well as judgment

of Co-ordinate Bench of this Court in the case of Bhagirath Ram

vs State of Rajasthan & Others (S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.

2682/2021 decided on 13.09.2021) to contend that where

both proceedings are based on identical facts and evidence, it is

desirable to stay the departmental enquiry till conclusion of the

criminal case.

7. Per contra, learned counsel for the respondents has

opposed the writ petition and submitted that the writ petition itself

is not maintainable as it seeks to challenge a mere charge-sheet.

It is argued that a charge-sheet does not give rise to a cause of

(Uploaded on 28/04/2026 at 11:00:07 AM)
(Downloaded on 29/04/2026 at 07:18:53 PM)
[2026:RJ-JD:19616] (4 of 14) [CW-439/2023]

action and ordinarily the High Court should not interfere at such a

premature stage.

8. It is further contended that there is no legal bar in

proceeding simultaneously with departmental and criminal

proceedings, as both operate in distinct fields with different

standards of proof. Reliance is also placed upon the decisions of

the Hon’ble Supreme Court in State of Rajasthan vs. B.K.

Meena & Others, (1996) 6 SCC 417 and Kendriya Vidyalaya

Sangathan & Others vs T. Srinivas (2004) 7 SCC 442 to

submit that simultaneous proceedings are permissible. It is further

submitted that the petitioner has not even submitted his reply to

the charge-sheet despite opportunities and, therefore, cannot

seek indulgence of this Court.

9. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and upon

perusal of record, this court finds that the core question that

arises for consideration is whether in the facts and circumstances

of the present case, the departmental enquiry initiated against the

petitioner deserves to be quashed or stayed during the pendency

of the criminal proceedings, or not?.

10. It is well settled that ordinarily a writ petition against a

charge-sheet is not maintainable as the same does not constitute

an adverse order. However, this rule is not absolute and is subject

to well-recognized exceptions, particularly where continuation of

proceedings would be wholly unjust, oppressive or in violation of

settled legal principles. In the case of State of Rajasthan vs.

B.K. Meena & Others (supra), the Hon’ble Supreme Court has

held as under:

(Uploaded on 28/04/2026 at 11:00:07 AM)

[2026:RJ-JD:19616] (5 of 14) [CW-439/2023]

“14. It would be evident from the above decisions that each
of them starts with the indisputable proposition that there is
no legal bar for both proceedings to go on simultaneously and
then say that in certain situations, it may not be ‘desirable’,
‘advisable’ or ‘appropriate’ to proceed with the disciplinary
enquiry when a criminal case is pending on identical charges.

The staying of disciplinary proceedings, it is emphasised, is a
matter to be determined having regard to the facts and
circumstances of a given case and that no hard and fast rules
can be enunciated in that behalf. The only ground suggested
in the above decisions as constituting a valid ground for
staying the disciplinary proceedings is that “the defence of
the employee in the criminal case may not be prejudiced”.
This ground has, however, been hedged in by providing
further that this may be done in cases of grave nature
involving questions of fact and law. In our respectful opinion,
it means that not only the charges must be grave but that
the case must involve complicated questions of law and fact.
Moreover, ‘advisability’, ‘desirability’ or ‘propriety’, as the
case may be, has to be determined in each case taking into
consideration all the facts and circumstances of the case. The
ground indicated in D.C.M. (1960) 3 SCR 227 and Tata Oil
Mills (1964) 7 SCR 555 is also not an invariable rule. It is
only a factor which will go into the scales while judging the
advisability or desirability of staying the disciplinary
proceedings. One of the contending considerations is that the
disciplinary enquiry cannot be — and should not be —
delayed unduly. So far as criminal cases are concerned, it is
well known that they drag on endlessly where high officials or
persons holding high public offices are involved. They get
bogged down on one or the other ground. They hardly ever
reach a prompt conclusion. That is the reality in spite of
repeated advice and admonitions from this Court and the
High Courts. If a criminal case is unduly delayed that may
itself be a good ground for going ahead with the disciplinary
enquiry even where the disciplinary proceedings are held
over at an earlier stage. The interests of administration and
good government demand that these proceedings are
concluded expeditiously. It must be remembered that
interests of administration demand that undesirable elements
are thrown out and any charge of misdemeanour is enquired
into promptly. The disciplinary proceedings are meant not
really to punish the guilty but to keep the administrative
machinery unsullied by getting rid of bad elements. The
interest of the delinquent officer also lies in a prompt
conclusion of the disciplinary proceedings. If he is not guilty
of the charges, his honour should be vindicated at the earliest
possible moment and if he is guilty, he should be dealt with
promptly according to law. It is not also in the interest of
administration that persons accused of serious misdemeanour
should be continued in office indefinitely, i.e., for long periods
awaiting the result of criminal proceedings. It is not in the
interest of administration. It only serves the interest of the
guilty and dishonest. While it is not possible to enumerate the
various factors, for and against the stay of disciplinary
proceedings, we found it necessary to emphasise some of the
important considerations in view of the fact that very often
the disciplinary proceedings are being stayed for long periods
pending criminal proceedings. Stay of disciplinary
proceedings cannot be, and should not be, a matter of
course. All the relevant factors, for and against, should be
weighed and a decision taken keeping in view the various
principles laid down in the decisions referred to above.”

11. It is equally well settled that there is no absolute legal

bar to the simultaneous continuation of departmental and criminal

proceedings, as both operate in distinct spheres, the former being

governed by service jurisprudence and the latter by penal law.

However, the Hon’ble Supreme Court in catena of judgments,

including Capt. M. Paul Anthony (supra) has carved out an

exception that where both proceedings are based on identical and

similar set of facts and the evidence in both cases is common, and

where the charges in the criminal case are of a grave nature

involving complicated questions of fact and law, it would be

desirable to stay the departmental proceedings till the conclusion

of the criminal case. The consistent ratio emerging from the

aforesaid precedent is that where both the departmental

proceedings and the criminal case arise out of the same set of

facts, and the evidence in both proceedings is substantially

identical, particularly in cases involving serious criminal charges, it

would not be expedient to permit the disciplinary proceedings to

continue simultaneously. The underlying rationale is rooted in

fairness and the need to avoid prejudice to the delinquent

employee. After analysing so many earlier judgments, in the case

of Capt. M. Paul Anthony (supra), following principles were laid

down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court:

“22. The conclusions which are deducible from various
decisions of this Court referred to above are:

(i) Departmental proceedings and proceedings in a criminal
case can proceed simultaneously as there is no bar in their
being conducted simultaneously, though separately.

(ii) If the departmental proceedings and the criminal case
are based on identical and similar set of facts and the
charge in the criminal case against the delinquent employee
is of a grave nature which involves complicated questions of

(Uploaded on 28/04/2026 at 11:00:07 AM)
(Downloaded on 29/04/2026 at 07:18:53 PM)
[2026:RJ-JD:19616] (7 of 14) [CW-439/2023]

law and fact, it would be desirable to stay the departmental
proceedings till the conclusion of the criminal case.

(iii) Whether the nature of a charge in a criminal case is
grave and whether complicated questions of fact and law are
involved in that case, will depend upon the nature of
offence, the nature of the case launched against the
employee on the basis of evidence and material collected
against him during investigation or as reflected in the
charge-sheet.

(iv) The factors mentioned at (ii) and (iii) above cannot be
considered in isolation to stay the departmental proceedings
but due regard has to be given to the fact that the
departmental proceedings cannot be unduly delayed.

(v) If the criminal case does not proceed or its disposal is
being unduly delayed, the departmental proceedings, even if
they were stayed on account of the pendency of the criminal
case, can be resumed and proceeded with so as to conclude
them at an early date, so that if the employee is found not
guilty his honour may be vindicated and in case he is found
guilty, the administration may get rid of him at the earliest.”

12. The Hon’ble Supreme Court emphasised that although

there is no inflexible rule, it is desirable to stay departmental

proceedings where the criminal charge is of a grave nature and

involves complicated questions of fact and law. This principle has

been consistently reiterated and refined in subsequent decisions of

Hon’ble Supreme Court as well as of this Court. It has been

clarified that the gravity of the charge, the nature of evidence, and

the likelihood of prejudice are determinative factors. Thus, where

the foundation of both proceedings is identical, courts must be

cautious in permitting parallel continuation if it would result in

prejudice to the accused employee.

13. In the case of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan &

Others vs T. Srinivas (supra), the Hon’ble Supreme Court, after

considering the aforesaid cases of Capt. M. Paul Anthony

(supra) and State of Rajasthan vs. B.K. Meena & Others

(supra), has laid down the following observations:

“8. On a reading of M. Paul Anthony case2 it is noted that
there is consensus of judicial opinion on the basic principle
that proceedings in a criminal case and departmental
proceedings can go on simultaneously, however, this Court

(Uploaded on 28/04/2026 at 11:00:07 AM)
(Downloaded on 29/04/2026 at 07:18:53 PM)
[2026:RJ-JD:19616] (8 of 14) [CW-439/2023]

noticed that certain exceptions have been carved out to the
said basic principle.

9. In State of Rajasthan v. B.K. Meena1 this Court held: (SCC
p. 417)

“The only ground suggested in the decisions of the Supreme
Court as constituting a valid ground for staying the
disciplinary proceedings is that ‘the defence of the employee
in the criminal case may not be prejudiced’. This ground has,
however, been hedged in by providing further that this may
be done in cases of grave nature involving questions of fact
and law. It means that not only the charges must be grave
but that the case must involve complicated questions of law
and fact. Moreover, ‘advisability’, ‘desirability’ or ‘propriety’,
as the case may be, of staying the departmental enquiry has
to be determined in each case taking into consideration all
the facts and circumstances of the case. Stay of disciplinary
proceedings cannot be, and should not be, a matter of
course. All the relevant factors, for and against, should be
weighed and a decision taken keeping in view the various
principles laid down in the Supreme Court’s decisions.”

(emphasis supplied)”

14. Co-ordinate Bench of this Court in the case of

Bhagirath Ram (supra), after analysing the different judgments

of Hon’ble Supreme Court, has held as under:

“19. It is noteworthy that the charge framed in the
memorandum of charges is nothing but iteration or
enunciation of the fact that the petitioner was caught red
handed and is facing the criminal trial for the felony
punishable under the Indian Penal Code and Prevention of
Corruption Act, 1998.

20. In the opinion of this Court, it will be impracticable for
the department to reach a finding because in a bid to prove
the delinquency, the department will have to summon either
the prosecution witnesses or the complainant, who are also
star witnesses in the criminal trial. The fact that the
petitioner had accepted the illegal gratification will be difficult
nay impossible to be proved in absence of such witnesses
and without the incriminating material which would be lying
in the trial Court. Usually in the cases like the one in hands,
wherein the Anti Corruption Bureau traps an employee, the
witnesses and material belong to and remain in custody of
the investigating agency or in the custody of the Trial Court.

21. The fact that the petitioner had demanded and accepted
the amount from the complainant as bribe is a complicated
question of fact to be determined by the enquiry officer,
particularly when none of the police personnel were present
at the time of the incident. Necessary evidence like voice
recording, the currency notes used/recovered in the trap and
all other evidence are not in possession of the respondents –
they have practically no access to the incriminating evidence.

22. Unless the witnesses are examined – cross-examined
before the Court, it is very difficult to unearth the facts. Such
being the position, there is every likelihood that the erring
officer may get a clean chit in the departmental inquiry in
spite of the fact that there is cogent oral or occular evidence

(Uploaded on 28/04/2026 at 11:00:07 AM)
(Downloaded on 29/04/2026 at 07:18:53 PM)
[2026:RJ-JD:19616] (9 of 14) [CW-439/2023]

to prove his guilt or offence. Hence, in the opinion of this
Court, continuance of the disciplinary inquiry is not
appropriate.

23. Even from the petitioner’s perspective, if the inquiry is
permitted to go on, there is every likelihood that the
proceedings may be concluded in undue haste being swayed
by the fact that the petitioner has been framed in anti-
corruption case. If he is supposed to disclose his defence in
the departmental proceeding, the prosecution witnesses will
perhaps be premonished or forewarned and they will be on
guard to face cross-examination. If the prosecution succeeds
in its case, and the petitioner is held guilty, the work of the
inquiry officer will be very easy – the respondents can even
invoke powers under Article 311 of the Constitution of India
and take appropriate action. Therefore, it is advisable and
desirable also, to defer the departmental proceedings.”

15. Upon examination of material available on record, this

Court finds that the genesis of criminal proceedings has arisen

from a complaint came to be submitted by one Shri Rajaram

Meghwal, who was then working as former Manager of Gram Seva

Sahkari Samiti Ltd., Rohida, alleging that in connection with the

decision rendered against him by the Office of the Deputy

Registrar, Cooperative Societies, Sirohi under Section 57(2) of the

Rajasthan Co-operative Societies Act, 2001 as well as in relation

to the audit report of the Rohida Society for the year 2013-14 and

other documents pertaining to his tenure, he required certified

copies of the relevant records for the purpose of pursuing his

appeal before the Cooperative Tribunal, Jodhpur. It was averred

that despite submission of applications dated 12.02.2020 and

03.03.2020 before the then Deputy Registrar (the petitioner),

who, instead of furnishing the certified copies, demanded an illegal

gratification of Rs. 10,000/-. The complainant further alleged that

upon meeting the petitioner again on 17.06.2020 and reiterating

his request, the demand for bribe was repeated, whereafter he

was constrained to assure arrangement of the said amount. It was

further stated that certain incomplete documents were handed

(Uploaded on 28/04/2026 at 11:00:07 AM)
(Downloaded on 29/04/2026 at 07:18:53 PM)
[2026:RJ-JD:19616] (10 of 14) [CW-439/2023]

over to him with an assurance that the remaining documents

would be supplied upon payment of the demanded amount, and a

receipt was obtained from him on his application in this regard.

The complainant asserted that being aggrieved by such illegal

demand, he approached the Anti-Corruption Bureau with a request

to take appropriate legal action and to have the Petitioner

apprehended while accepting the bribe. Thereupon, trap

proceedings were conducted by the ACB and on the basis of that,

case was accordingly registered and proceeded further.

16. After having glimpse of the allegations in criminal

complaint, when statement of allegations appended to the

Memorandum and charge sheet dated 20.07.2021 served upon

the petitioner during disciplinary enquiry were perused, the same

would reveal that it was alleged against the petitioner, while

holding the post of Deputy Registrar, Cooperative Societies, Sirohi

as well as additional charge of Liquidator, Apeshwar Credit

Cooperative Society Ltd., Sirohi, during the period from

05.03.2019 to 18.06.2020, a complaint came to be lodged against

him by Rajaram Meghwal before the Anti-Corruption Bureau,

Jaipur on 18.06.2020. In the said complaint, it was alleged that in

connection with the decision passed under Section 57(2) of the

Rajasthan Co-operative Societies Act, 2001 against the

complainant, as well as the audit report of Rohida Society for the

year 2013-14 and other relevant records pertaining to the

complainant’s tenure, the complainant had sought certified copies

of the necessary documents for the purpose of pursuing his appeal

before the Cooperative Tribunal, Jodhpur. It is further alleged that

despite submission of applications dated 12.02.2020 and

(Uploaded on 28/04/2026 at 11:00:07 AM)
(Downloaded on 29/04/2026 at 07:18:53 PM)
[2026:RJ-JD:19616] (11 of 14) [CW-439/2023]

03.03.2020 before the petitioner, instead of furnishing the certified

copies in accordance with law, the petitioner demanded illegal

gratification for the same. On account of such allegation and the

alleged acceptance of undue advantage, a criminal case came to

be registered against the petitioner by the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

It is further alleged that being a public servant, the petitioner was

under a legal obligation to process the applications submitted by

the complainant and to provide certified copies of the requested

documents on the basis of records available in his office, in

accordance with the applicable rules. However, instead of

discharging his official duties in a lawful manner, the petitioner is

alleged to have demanded and accepted undue advantage,

thereby acting in a manner unbecoming of a public servant. It is

also imputed that on account of the registration of the aforesaid

criminal case by the Anti-Corruption Bureau pursuant to the

complaint of the complainant, the image and reputation of the

department stood tarnished. The petitioner, by allegedly obtaining

illegal gratification and bringing disrepute to the department, is

stated to have acted in contravention of the duties expected of a

public servant and thereby violated Rule 3 of the Rajasthan Civil

Services (Conduct) Rules, 1971, rendering himself liable for

disciplinary action.

17. A comparative analysis of the contents of the criminal

complaint submitted before the Anti-Corruption Bureau and the

articles of charge framed in the departmental proceedings leaves

no manner of doubt that the genesis of both sets of proceedings is

the same. Both are founded upon the identical incident relating to

the alleged demand and acceptance of illegal gratification by the

(Uploaded on 28/04/2026 at 11:00:07 AM)
(Downloaded on 29/04/2026 at 07:18:53 PM)
[2026:RJ-JD:19616] (12 of 14) [CW-439/2023]

petitioner for providing certified copies of documents sought by

the complainant. The core allegations, the factual foundation, the

list of witnesses, and the documentary evidence proposed to be

relied upon in both proceedings substantially overlap and arise out

of the same transaction. The complainant, the circumstances

leading to the alleged demand and the sequence of events

culminating in the registration of the criminal case constitute the

very basis of the disciplinary action as well. Thus, it is evident that

not only the origin but also the substance and evidentiary

foundation of the criminal prosecution and the departmental

enquiry are common, interlinked and inseparably interlaced.

18. Applying the aforesaid principles laid down in the above

referred precedents to the facts of the present case, it is evident

that the allegations against the petitioner in the departmental

enquiry as well as in the criminal proceedings emanate from the

same incident of alleged demand and acceptance of illegal

gratification. The witnesses, documentary evidence, and the core

factual matrix in both proceedings are substantially identical. The

charge pertains to an offence under Section 7 of the Prevention of

Corruption Act, 1988 which is undoubtedly a serious criminal

offence involving penal consequences.

19. In such a situation, if the departmental enquiry is

permitted to proceed simultaneously, the petitioner would be

compelled to disclose his defence at a stage prior to the recording

of evidence in the criminal trial. This would include disclosure of

his line of defence, cross-examination strategy, and production of

defence evidence. Such premature disclosure is likely to seriously

prejudice the petitioner in the criminal proceedings, where the

(Uploaded on 28/04/2026 at 11:00:07 AM)
(Downloaded on 29/04/2026 at 07:18:53 PM)
[2026:RJ-JD:19616] (13 of 14) [CW-439/2023]

stakes are significantly higher and the consequences more severe,

including conviction and sentence.

20. It is settled preposition that criminal proceedings entail

stricter standards of proof and more serious consequences as

compared to disciplinary proceedings. Therefore, where the

defence of the delinquent employee in both proceedings is based

on the same set of facts and evidence, compelling him to disclose

his defence in departmental proceedings at an earlier stage may

result in a situation where the prosecution gains undue advantage

in the criminal trial. This not only causes serious prejudice but also

has the potential to result in miscarriage of justice. Consequently,

in such cases, it would not be in the interest of justice to permit

the departmental proceedings to continue in parallel, at least till

the stage of recording of evidence in the criminal case is

completed.

21. At the same time, this Court is not inclined to quash the

charge-sheet altogether, as the respondents would be entitled to

proceed with the disciplinary proceedings in accordance with law

upon conclusion of the evidence in criminal trial.

22. In view of the aforesaid analysis, this Court is of the

considered opinion that the present case falls within the exception

carved out by the Hon’ble Supreme Court, warranting interference

by this Court.

23. Accordingly, the writ petition is allowed in part. The

respondents are directed to keep the departmental enquiry

initiated against the petitioner pursuant to charge-sheet dated

20.07.2021 in abeyance till conclusion of the evidence in criminal

proceedings arising out of FIR No. 94/2020.

[2026:RJ-JD:19616] (14 of 14) [CW-439/2023]

24. It is, however, clarified that the respondents shall be at

liberty to proceed with the departmental enquiry in accordance

with law after conclusion of the evidence in criminal case.

25. Pending applications, if any, stand disposed of.
