Hello everyone, I am facing a departmental inquiry of major penalty under rule 14 of ccs cca rules, the IO in the case has submitted his report however without following the due procedure such as inspection of original documents, cross-examination of witness, seeking defence brief, general examination etc., the disc forwarded the Inquiry report. Authority for seeking comments on the report, and I have submitted an objection against the report reflecting procedural lapses. Now the disciplinary authority, instead of remitting back the ir, is himself giving the opportunity for inspection of RUDs. Please suggest whether the disciplinary authority can assume himself as an inquiry officer. How to challenge this situation. Please suggest thanks in advance
