Special disciplinary procedure permits orders without ordinary inquiry after conviction, impracticability, or State-security concerns, subject to representation safeguards.

Special disciplinary procedure permits departure from the ordinary inquiry process following criminal conviction, where an inquiry is not reasonably practicable for recorded written reasons, or where an inquiry is considered inexpedient in the interest of State security. The disciplinary authority may issue appropriate orders after considering the circumstances. In conviction-based cases, the employee may be given an opportunity to represent against the proposed penalty before an order is made.
