Appoint a Professional as an Inquiry Officer or Inquiry Committee Member for Serious Acts of Misconduct
Conducting a proper domestic inquiry is a specialist's job, especially in cases of serious or grave alleged misconduct where emotions run high, the atmosphere is charged, or influential persons on the muster roll are involved.
Domestic or internal inquiries must be conducted in accordance with the principles of natural justice and the procedures laid down by the apex court in this regard.
Any deficiency or lapse, whether committed by design or default, in conducting the domestic inquiry renders it null and void, vitiated, and not maintainable. There have been instances where faulty domestic inquiries have been set aside by the appropriate courts or judiciary, leading to the reinstatement of the discharged worker/employee with full back wages—a severe consequence.
Employers or management now have the option to engage a former manager with hands-on experience as an inquiry officer or inquiry committee member to conduct a fair and proper domestic/internal inquiry.
Advantages:
• Has successfully conducted many inquiries without being subjected to judicial review or reinstatement with back wages.
• Is not a legally trained mind or a legal practitioner but has managerial experience in establishments.
• Is well-versed in inquiry procedures and the principles of natural justice and has never lapsed.
• Is sensitive and sensible, not influenced by the outcome of the charge sheet, explanation letter, or the inquiry itself.
• Completes inquiry procedures in the shortest possible time without prolonging on any pretext.
• Prepares and submits inquiry reports with findings promptly.
• Competent in handling complex or ticklish situations that may arise during inquiries intended to stall or delay the proceedings.
• Cost-effective service.
• Assured results.
