Parallel proceedings of departmental enquiry and court trial

A case history is necessary to form a purposeful opinion, as your statement cannot be treated as correct about compulsory retirement by bank even without proving of the departmentasl charge. Half baked facts by mix up of both the CBI and the departmental cases cannot be based for arriving at some correct opinion. The penalty of compulsory retirement could have been awarded only on conviction by the court of law in CBI case, which you have not stated in your descripttion of the case.

However, for your general information, it is pointed out that both the cases are different as pursued on different angles. CBI inquiry and trial in the court of law can be for a criminal offence under the PC Act or the IPC, while departmental inquiry is restricted to the case of misconduct in employment as prescribed in the departmental conduct and discipline rules.

You may better discuss the background and the history of the case.
