31. The IA shall question the GS on the circumstances appearing against him in the evidence if the GS has not examined himself, to enable the GS to state his position. This will be done after the GS closes his case.
32. If the GS does not appear for the inquiry in person before the IA or refuses to comply with the provisions of the rule, the IA may hold the inquiry ex parte (meaning: in the interest of one side only)
33. If a Disciplinary Authority (DA) is not competent to impose one of the major penalties on the GS, and is of the opinion that one such penalty should be imposed, he shall forward the records of the inquiry to the higher DA who is competent to impose major penalties on the GS.
