refer the particulars of the complaint to a commission of inquiry consisting of three persons, two of whom
shall be appointed by the Central Government, one being a Judge of a High Court, and one by the Central
Council, and such commission shall proced to inquire in a summary manner and to report to the Central

of improper action being found by the commission to have been established, the commission shall
recommend the remedies, if any, which are in its opinion necessary.

within such time as, having regard to the report of the commission, it may think fit, and if the Central
