WHEREAS it is expedient to amend the law for regulating inquiries into
the behaviour of public servants not removable without the sanction of
Government, and to make the same uniform throughout the territories

follows —-
I. The following Act[s, VI.* 1888,] XXVI. 1839, [and XHI.f 1848,]
are repealed, but not so as to revive any Act or Regulation, or part of any
Act or Regulation, thereby repealed.
II. Whenever the Government shall be of opinion that there are good
grounds for making a formal and public inquiry into the truth of any
imputation of misbehaviour by any person in the service of the East-India
Company not removable from his office without the sanction of the same
Government, it shall cause the substance of the imputations to be drawn
into distinct articles of charge, and shall order a formal and public inquiry
to be made into the truth thereof.
III. The inquiry may be committed either to the court, board, or other
authority to which the person accused is subordinate, or to any other
person or persons, to be specially appointed, by the Government, commis-
sioners for the purpose: notice of which commission shall be given to the
person accused ten days at least before the beginning of the inquiry.
IV. When the Government shall think fit to conduct the prosecution,
it shall nominate some person to conduct the same on its behalf.
V. When the charge shall be brought by an accuser, the Government
shall require the accusation to be reduced to writing, and verified by the
oath or solemn affirmation of the accuser; and every person who shall
wilfully and maliciously make any false accusation under this Act, upon
such oath or affirmation, shall be liable to the penalties of perjury: f^ut
