The committee gave its recommendations on 01.07.2024 and the same are under consideration. One of the recommendations of the committee is as under:

“Vigilance cases wherein Charged Officers are retiring soon, disciplinary proceedings should be completed on priority, preferably before retirement or maximum within 6 months of retirement.”
