The Supreme Court quashed the disciplinary court's finding that a prosecutor committed a gross violation of law. The prosecutor had dismissed a criminal investigation despite expert opinions contradicting his decision, which the disciplinary body deemed a clear breach of legal rules. The court ruled that such procedural errors, subject to appellate review, cannot automatically constitute a gross violation unless they demonstrate arbitrary disregard for established evidence.
