s 23B Termination in the public interest
(1) Where the Lembaga finds or where representations are made to the Lembaga that it is desirable that the service of an officer or a servant be terminated in the public interest, the Lembaga may call for a full report from the superior officer of the officer or servant against whom the representations are made which shall contain particulars relating to the work and conduct of the officer or servant.
(2) If, after considering the report received under subsection (1), the Lembaga is satisfied that having regard to the conditions of service, the usefulness of the officer or servant, the work and conduct of the officer or servant and all other circumstances of the case, it is desirable in the public interest so to do, the Lembaga may terminate the service of the officer or servant with effect from such date as the Lembaga shall specify.
(3) It shall be lawful for the appropriate Disciplinary Committee to recommend to the Lembaga that the service of an officer or a servant be terminated in the public interest notwithstanding that disciplinary proceedings have not been carried out under this Act and the Lembaga may so terminate the service of the officer or servant.
(4) Notwithstanding anything in this Act and any other law to the contrary, in terminating the service of an officer or servant in the public interest under this section, the officer or a servant may not be given any opportunity of being heard and an officer or a servant whose service has been terminated in the public interest under this section shall not be regarded as having been dismissed, regardless of whether the termination of service of the officer or servant involved an element of punishment or was connected with conduct in relation to his office which the Lembaga regards as unsatisfactory or blameworthy.
