1. What is the purpose of the written brief of the Presenting Officer?
Submission of the written brief is the culmination of the activities of the Presenting
Officer. During the hearing, the parties to the proceedings present documentary
evidence and lead oral evidence. Evidence presented during the hearings serve the
purpose of presenting facts. The facts must lead to some inference. The link
between the bare facts and the inference is required to be established through logic.
Towards this end, Rule 14(19) of the CCA Rules provides as under:
“The inquiring authority may, after the completion of the production of
evidence, hear the Presenting Officer, if any, appointed, and the Government
servant, or permit them to file written briefs of their respective case, if they so
desire.”
