if the complainant did not appear then it does not mean that the complaint was false. is there any finding of the committee to that effect?

A.Mohamed Thaheer (Querist) 19 May 2009
Yes, the Committee reported that the charges are not sustainable and hence the charge could not be proved.

A.Mohamed Thaheer (Querist) 19 May 2009
Then, what is the other way to the accused to prove that he is not guilty from the false accusation in the complaint?

Mr. Prabhakar is absolutely right.

agree with mr prabhakar. also see, if making a false charge is misconduct under relevant service rules? if so, disciplinary action can be taken against her.
