Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the role of the Inquiry Officer (IO) in departmental proceedings under Rule 14 of the CCS CCA rules. Specifically, it questions whether the IO must prove the charges listed in Article I of the charge memo or the statement of imputation in Article II. The consensus is that the IO must prove the charges as framed in Article I, with Article II providing the details and links of how those charges are substantiated.

The charge memo is for charge framed and the imputations of the charge are how the charge is framed and linked. So he may give his report after the completion of the inquiry.
