INVESTIGATION OF COMPLANTS AND INITIATION OF DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING Whenever complaint against a Govt. servant is received about the commission of an offense, a preliminary enquiry should be conducted. The appropriate disciplinary authority need not necessarily conduct this enquiry. An officer other than the disciplinary authority may conduct this. This is held mainly for the purpose of collection of facts in regard to the conduct and work of the Govt. servant in which he may or may not be associated. At this enquiry all available evidence and relevant documents should be collected. During the course of such an enquiry the individual against who compliant has been received should normally be given opportunity to say what he may have to say about the allegation against him to find out if he is in a position to give any satisfactory information or explanation, which may render any further investigation unnecessary. The investigation report along with preliminary evidences collected should be sent to appropriate disciplinary authority by the Investigating Officer. The investigating officer should not give any opinion or recommendations for consideration by the disciplinary authority. On receipt of the Investigating Report, the-disciplinary authority should examine the case and come to the conclusion as to whether a prima facie case exists of a certain offense/ misconduct/ misbehaviour/ dereliction of duty. If there is prima facie evidence of commission of an offense beyond reasonable doubt for initiation of criminal proceedings, he should do so. If on the other hand, prima facie evidence is based only on preponderance of probability, then departmental proceedings may be necessary. The departmental action may be initiated not only for the violation of CCS (Conduct) Rules but also for perverse conduct not covered under Conduct Rules. INITIATION OF PROCEEDINGS After collection of full facts and its evaluation, it is found that the Govt. servant has committed misconduct; the disciplinary authority should decide whether formal disciplinary proceeding should be instituted under CCS (CCA) Rules for minor or for major penalty. The disciplinary authority should keep in mind that the disciplinary action and the quantum of punishment are to be commensurate with the gravity of the offense alleged to have been committed by the Govt servant. Major penalty proceedings should normally be initiated for misuse of official position, disclosure of classified.-information, misuse of official position, failure to maintain integrity etc. At his stage itself, the competent authority would decide whether the Govt servant should be suspended or otherwise. If in the opinion of the competent authority that the presence of the
