A complaint with the prescribed fee is received against CS Arjun Rao. After a prima facie review, the Director (Discipline) concludes that Arjun is guilty only of misconduct mentioned in the First Schedule. Before whom must the Director place the matter?

The matter goes to the Board of Discipline. Under Section 21(3), where the Director (Discipline) finds misconduct mentioned only in the First Schedule, it is placed before the Board of Discipline, while Second Schedule or both-Schedule cases go to the Disciplinary Committee.

Explanation

Under Section 21(3), a matter involving misconduct mentioned in the First Schedule is placed before the Board of Discipline. Matters involving the Second Schedule, or both Schedules, go to the Disciplinary Committee. The Disciplinary Committee is therefore wrong here, as only the First Schedule is involved.
