O.M.No.GAD 6 OSR 59, Bangalore, dated the 25th April 1959
Procedural instructions regarding Departmental Enquiries under the C.C.A. Rules.

In para 4 of the Offical Memorandum issued with No.GAD 3 CAR 57, dated 14th December 1957, laying down the procedure for dealing with the request by a Government servant for an oral enquiry and/or to be heard in person it is stated that "an enquiry must be held where the Government servant asks for it" etc., The intention of the said rule is that an enquiry should be held only if the Government servant desires such enquiry and not otherwise. The word "WHERE" is used only in the above sense, and is not intended to
confer the right to choose venue of the enquiry on the Government servant. To place the matter beyond doubt, it is directed that the word "if" be substituted for the word "where" occurring in para 4 of the Official Memorandum referred to above line 10 of the printed copy.
