10. What is the role of logic in the written brief of the Presenting Officer?
We have seen in an earlier chapter that a charge stems from a set of facts. The
Facts are proved through evidence. Logic is the linkage which connects evidence to
the charge through facts.
For example, the charge against an officer is that he had issued a false certificate of
having inspected a product on a date when the product was not in existence.
Following pieces of evidence were produced during the inquiry:
(a) Inspection report dated Day D duly signed by the charged officer
(b) Stock register of finished product as on D-4
(c) Stock register of the raw material as on D-10
(d) Gate pass for exit of the finished product on D-3,D-2 and D-1
(e) Entry record of raw material for D-9 to D-1
(f) Expert opinion on how much raw material would be required for preparing one
unit of product.
Above facts are seemingly disjointed and do not lead anyone anywhere. There is a
logical chord running through the above disjoint pieces of facts, which will lead to the
establishment of the charge when linked logically. Presenting Officer’s job is to show
as to how different pieces of evidence taken together lead to establishing the charge
