A copy of daily order sheet made in the hearing should be sent to the charged employee.
832. But, if the charged employee is present, the preliminary hearing should not be postponed for the simple reason that his defence assistant is not present. The reason is that the business to be transacted in preliminary hearing is such which can be done without his defence assistant.
