finds the officer guilty of the disciplinary offence alleged to have been committed by him but that, after taking into consideration the circumstances in which the disciplinary offence was committed and other mitigating factors, such offence does not warrant a punishment of dismissal or reduction in rank but warrants the imposition of a lesser punishment, the Disciplinary Committee shall impose upon the officer any one or more of the punishments other than dismissal or reduction in rank as specified in regulation 40 as it deems appropriate; or

finds the officer not guilty, the Disciplinary Committee shall acquit him.
