137. Knowledge Spectrum – Discipline FUNCTIONS OF INQUIRY OFFICER - 53
150. Are copies of the DOS supplied to all the parties concerned?
Copy of DOS must be given to the parties present and signing it. While conducting ex-parte proceedings, it would be a good practice to dispatch the copies of the DOS to the delinquent official. This action will manifest the bonafide of the authorities, in case the delinquent official alleges denial of reasonable opportunity, bias, malafide, etc.
151. When is the Daily Order sheet to be prepared?
Daily Order Sheets are to be prepared whenever there is a progress in the case - not only when hearing takes place. Thus the first Daily order sheet may be made on the day when IO received his/her appointment order. It may read as under:
Daily Order Sheet No. 1
Dated 99. Aaa.9999 Parties present: None
Received Order No. ..... dated ..... from ..... appointing me as the Inquiry Authority to look into charges framed against ..... vide Memorandum No. ... dated
The following papers were also received along with the Charge Sheet:
(a) Copy of the charge sheet
Copy of the written statement of defence (c) Copy of order No. .... dated .... appointing Shri .... as Presenting
Officer in the case. An acknowledgement was sent to the Disciplinary Authority.
Sd/ Name Designation
152. How does the IO analyse and understand the charge?
IO has to perceive the charge sheet based on the Charge – Fact – Evidence co relation. This will help in analyzing and appreciating evidence.
This will help the IO to proceed with the task with clarity right from the initial stage
