Adjudication procedure defines adjudicating officer and scope of inquiry under depositories rules, ensuring consistent term meanings. Definitions for the Rules specify that the 'Act' refers to the Depositories Act, 1996; the 'adjudicating officer' is the officer appointed by the Board under the Act; and 'inquiry' denotes the inquiry referenced in the Act. Terms not defined in the Rules take their meanings from the Depositories Act, 1996, and a subsequent notification amended a statutory cross reference.
