Does the Presenting officer need to prepare and submit to E.O. a case presentation based on the preliminary investigation report and evidences, thereof, leading to the charge sheet to the charged employee to begin the DI.
If yes, how to prepare the case presentation.

As presenting officer, you need to prepare a list of witnesses and documents on which you rely to present yur case as is normally the procedure in PSUs and a copy of it be given to the defence on the date of hearing. Thereafter, you should produce your witnesses first and conduct examination in chief and thererafter allow the defence to cross examine him. After the conclusion of evidence by both you(the presenting officer) and the defence , you need to submit your arguments either in writing or oral asper the procedure applicable to your establishment. It is an extensive subject.

Dear Shri Saikumar'
Please guide me how to initiate the Case Presentation, if possible, with illustration/case example.

Mr.gniyogi
It is a vast subject and cannot be taught in few lines or paras. Better, you get hold of a good book on domestic enquiry from the market by enquiring with book stores whos sell management and law books.
