I served in the CISF from 2007 to 2010. My probation period was from June 16, 2007, to June 16, 2009. During this time, I received three disciplinary actions for disobeying orders.
One instance involved a shift from family quarters to the barracks in July 2008. Due to illness, I shifted on August 4, 2008, and provided a doctor’s note for a four-day sick leave. Despite this, the authorities found it unsatisfactory and issued a disciplinary action.
On another occasion, I was charged for an accident while riding a motorcycle without a helmet, which I considered a lawful order. The punishment was a seven-day pay fine.
Lastly, I was charged for requesting a written order from the shift incharge, again resulting in a seven-day pay fine. For each of these charges, I requested a formal inquiry but was denied, with the authorities stating that they have the discretion to decide whether an inquiry is conducted or not.

Under Indian law, the CISF has the discretion to decide whether to conduct an inquiry for disciplinary actions. While you can request an inquiry, there is no legal obligation for the authorities to grant it. The denial of your requests, in this case, does not necessarily constitute a violation of your rights.
