Graft case can't be nixed despite dept's clean chit: SC

The Supreme Court has held that corruption case against a government employee cannot be quashed on the basis of clean chit given by the department after holding an inquiry against him.

A three-judge bench headed by Justice R M Lodha said the standard of proof in departmental proceedings is lower than that in the criminal prosecution and the employee cannot be discharged on the basis of findings of the inquiry done by the government department.
