31. If the GS evades acceptance of the charge sheet or refuses to accept the registered cover containing the same, the charge sheet will be deemed to have been delivered on him, as refusal of a registered letter normally amounts to proper service of its contents.
32. If it is not possible to trace the GS and serve the charges on him, the Disciplinary authority may resort to action under Rule-19 (ii) and finalize the proceedings after dispensing with the inquiry.
33. The inquiry should not be entrusted to an officer who held a preliminary inquiry and expressed a definite opinion on the allegations, especially, where such opinion is adverse to the accused GS.
34. The DA should not normally appoint an officer who is directly subordinate to him as the IO.
35. The IO should not summon the following documents as additional documents: -
a. Report of preliminary enquiry/investigation.
b. File dealing with the disciplinary case of the GS
c. Advice of the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC)
d. Advice of the Ministry of Law.
