Probation affects only the criminal aspect of the case, not its administrative dimension.


G.R. No. 206379, November 19, 2014, CECILIA PAGADUAN, PETITIONER, VS. CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION* AND REMA MARTIN SALVADOR, RESPONDENTS.

“X x x.

Finally, even if dismissal had been one of the accessory penalties of the principal penalty imposed upon petitioner in the criminal case, and even if the administrative case had been decided earlier than the criminal case, still the imposition of he penalty of dismissal could not have been suspended by the grant of probationt. As petitioner himself contends, the criminal action is separate and distinct from the administrative case. And, if only for that reason, so is administrative liability separate and distinct from penal liability. Hence, probation affects only the criminal aspect of the case, not its administrative dimension.25  [Emphases supplied]

X x x.”
