Working as Appraiser in customs. A complaint was made against me in Feb, 2017. Following that, the complaint was forwarded to the Vigilance Unit which in turn forwarded the same to the Intelligent Unit for preliminary enquiry purpose. Further, my name was added in the list of officers against whom disciplinary action is contemplated. (Revealed when I was denied NOC for transfer on this basis)
Now, almost 10 months have elapsed and even the preliminary enquiry is not completed. When enquired, it is informed orally that the same is pending as the original documents are not traceable for the purpose of signature verification . However, the photocopy is available to them.
Is there any time limit for completion of departmental inquiry and preliminary inquiry. What, if there are original documents missing for want of verifications? Can they proceed with the photocopy for verification? Please do suggest, what should I do now?
Also please share any official order from CVC in this regard.
One year slot is the period of completion of DP by the Apex Court.And why should DP be not completed in a year, just for harrasment?
