Sir,
An inquiry was held under Rule 14 of CCS 1965, upon completion the IO had submitted his report stating as the charges are not proved. Then Disciplinary Authority had issued Office Memorandum asking to give submission if any against the IO Report within 15 days. in the said OM, DA stated that it is in agreement with the IO's findings, and as there is nothing against the charged officer, CO had not given any submission. After that the DA has forwarded the IO report for second stage advice to CVC, stating that DA is in agreement with the IO findings.
My doubt is if, CVC advice for imposition of any kind of penalty what course of action can i resort to as DA had issued OM earlier stating that it is in agreement with the IO's findings, which appears that it had considered all materials placed on record and accepted the IO's findings.
PS: In OM it was mentioned as " in agreement with IO's findings" not intends to agree IO findings.
Thank You.
