Arrange the following stages in Disciplinary proceedings for major penalty in a correct sequential order and select the answer from the codes given below :
(i) Compliant followed by Preliminary investigation.
(ii) Acceptance of charges or rejection of charges.
(iii) Appointment of Inquiry Officer.
(iv) Consultation with UPSC.
(v) Submission of Report by Investigation Officer.
(vi) Final order.
Answer: C
The correct order is complaint and preliminary investigation, acceptance or rejection of the charges, appointment of the Inquiry Officer, submission of the report, consultation with the UPSC and the final order, so the answer is (i), (ii), (iii), (v), (iv), (vi), option C.
In disciplinary proceedings for a major penalty the charges are framed and the official replies (ii), an inquiry officer is appointed (iii) and reports (v). Only after that report is the Union Public Service Commission consulted (iv) on the finding and the proposed penalty, and the disciplinary authority then passes the final order (vi).
Options A and B put the consultation before the report is submitted, and option D puts it after the final order, which is too late for the consultation to have any effect.
