Please suggest - Can the IC members wear black coat during the inquiry of SH Case?

Hi,
There is no rules on the attire of the IC members while attending any SH case thus answer to your query is YES they can wear.

How does the colour of attire make a difference?

Dear Colleague,
IC proceedings are quasi-judicial just like domestic enquiry.
True, no dress code laid down. But keeping in mind its not very strict judicial nature, it is better not to wear black coat and that also has been widely followed practice.
