IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P.No.3622 of 2011 Date of decision : 1.3.2011 SI Raghubir Singh ....Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present : Mr.Vikram Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. The only prayer that has been made in the instant writ petition is that the departmental proceedings which have been initiated against the petitioner be stayed. It is contended that the criminal proceedings on the same allegations are also pending and in this eventuality the departmental proceedings should be stayed. I am not inclined to accept the prayer of the petitioner simply because it is a settled principle of law that departmental proceedings can be initiated against a person even if he is facing the criminal proceedings on the same set of allegations. No ground to interfere. Dismissed. 1.3.2011 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
