No need to comment on points 1 & 3. Answers to your quries at points 2, 4 & 5 are as under:
2) Depends upon the discretion of the Disciplinary Authority to accept or not to accept the request of the I.O. for change on his retirement. I.O. can continue with the inquiry proceedings till completion.
4) The disciplinary authority can change the I.O. at any stage for reasons recorded in writing.
5) New Inquiry Officer can continue proceedings from the stage the previous I.O. left. He has also the discretion to start inquiry proceedings from the initial or intermediary stage, if considered proper or having not been satisfied with the existing inquiry process.
