Ram Ratan Yadav (2003) 3 SCC 437 is clearly applicable to the facts of the case in which it was found that neither the gravity of the offence nor the final acquittal contained therein were relevant to the examination of whether a probation officer punishes an important fact (that he is involved in criminal proceedings, e.g. in personal data provided to the employer), suitable to be prosecuted as a sampler.
