(c) the Commissioner's recommendation; and
(d) his reasons for not making an award under regulation
25(1) or (2).
(2) The Commissioner shall at the same time as he forwards a report under paragraph (1) inform the inspector that his case will be considered by the Governor, and the inspector may within 14 days of the receipt of such information, or within such extended time as the Governor may allow, forward to the Governor a written petition containing such representations as may be relevant to enable the Governor to exercise his discretion under paragraph (3).
(3) Where any report is forwarded to the Governor under this regulation, the Governor may-
(a) dismiss the inspector; or
(b) if in all the circumstances of the case he considers justice so requires, set aside any finding of an appropriate tribunal and dismiss the inspector if in his opinion such punishment is warranted by any finding which has not been set aside; or
(ba) if in all the circumstances of the case, he is of the opinion that the misconduct of the inspector is serious enough to warrant the compulsory retirement of the inspector, order that the inspector be compulsorily retired with such pension, gratuity or other benefits as he may determine; or
(c) remit the case to the Commissioner and the Commissioner may then award any punishment which he has power to award under regulation 25, but where the Commissioner awards any punishment under this paragraph, regulation 26(2) shall apply as if such punishment had been awarded under regulation 25; or
(d) if he is of the opinion that the inspector does not deserve to be punished but that the proceedings disclose grounds for requiring the inspector to retire in the public interest, without further proceedings require him to retire in the public interest.
27A. (1) Where one or more inspectors and one or more junior police officers are charged with a disciplinary offence or offences arising out of the same facts, the Commissioner or a senior police officer may direct that the defaulters be charged and proceeded against jointly at the same proceedings unless-
(a) one of the defaulters objects to the appropriate tribunal on
the grounds of partiality or bias; or
(b) one of the defaulters objects to joint proceedings on the
grounds of disparity of rank.
(2) Joint proceedings under this regulation shall be dealt with as if they were proceedings against an inspector under Part III.
