Dear Experts,
What is the meaning of IA & PO in below statement
Yet due to its nonproduction by the PO, the IA has held this charge partly proved.

from sentence as framed IA must be understood,just guessing,inspecting authority.
PO requires supply of a little more clue to guess.

PO definitely stands for Presenting Officer. IA could, in the context, possibly stand for Inquiring Authority.

They are 'Presenting Officer' in a domestic enquiry and 'Investigating Authority' who conducted the enquiry.

Dear Prashant,
In departmental inquiry cases, the terms IA and PO are uses for "Inquiring Authority" and "Presenting Officer." respectively. Inquiring Authority is always other than an investigating offier, who would have conducted preliminary investigation before issue of charge sheet.

Dear Shri Ramachandran,
Nothing of the sort of "possibly," as you were perfectly right in your guess about IA. IA is used for the term Domestic/Inquiring Authority only in any departmental inquiry case.
