Section 32: (1) A member of a Disciplined Force acquitted of a criminal charge in
consolidated text (as at 2017). juris shows the text as it was consolidated; it does not confirm that this is the law in force today.
32. (1) A member of a Disciplined Force acquitted of a criminal charge in
any Court shall not be dismissed or otherwise punished on any charge upon
which he has been acquitted, but nothing in this regulation shall prevent the
institution of fresh proceedings with a view to his being dismissed or otherwise punished on any other charges arising out of his conduct in the matter
provided that they do not raise substantially the same issue as that on which
he has been acquitted.
(2) In all cases in which a member of a Disciplined Force is acquitted of a
criminal charge in any Court, the responsible officer of that member shall
forward to the Secretary a copy of the judgment and of the proceedings of
the Court if they are available, provided that the charge is not in respect of
minor offences which would not in any event warrant disciplinary proceedings.
(3) Where a member of a Disciplined Force who is under interdiction is
acquitted of a criminal charge in any Court, he shall be reinstated and, where
further proceedings are instituted against him under paragraph (1), interdiction, if that course is decided upon, shall not have effect from any earlier
date than that on which the new proceedings are instituted.
