JUDGEMENT
-
(1.)IT is seen that the impugned order is based on the judgment of this Court in the case of Union of
India and others vs. K.V. Jankiraman and others
[1991 (4) SCC 109]. In the instant case we are also
informed that the sealed cover has since been opened
and the respondent has been promoted by the
Departmental Promotion Committee. The charge sheet in
the criminal case is filed subsequent to the promotion
of the respondent. In these circumstances, we are not
inclined to interfere with the impugned order. We
dismiss this special leave petition leaving open the
rights of the State to initiate such action as it
deems appropriate in accordance with law.
The special leave petition is dismissed.
