Hello,

When an FIR is registered against the govt employee for domestic violence and 498 A, departmental action will be initiated against him as soon as the concerned authority receives the information of registering of FIR against him irrespective of his religion. Since he is a govt servant and is liable to maintain absolute integrity even privately, the charge of domestic violence and dowry harassment implies professional misconduct also. In these type of cases, the department will straight away initiate departmental proceedings without waiting for the outcome of the case. Feel free to contact me if you need further clarification.

Hi
the government employee will not lose his job because of the complaint.
the government employee will lose the job only if the courts convict him.
So the government employee should take utmost care in defending himself in dowry case.
Medical council does not have powers to cancel the license for medical practice on the grounds that the doctor was named as accused in a criminal case.
