Q. What do you mean by Expartite enquiry?

Expartite enquiry: when the work man does not turn up for the enquiry without notice or reasonable cause or refuses to participate or walks out then the enquiry may proceed to hold the enquiry ex parte.

Recording of findings by the enquiry officer: when the enquiry is over, the enquiry officer is required to give his findings, which should invariably contain the procedure of the enquiry, the parties heard, the documents produced, and then his own findings on each of the charges and his grounds for his findings. He submits his findings to the authorities empowered to take disciplinary action. He, however, is not required to make any recommendation.
