In conducting disciplinary proceedings, a lot of legal steps are involved. They are cryptically summarized in three formulas:
1. CIFADNAS
2. TADECARF
3. NAPAD
If anyone knows the expansions of these, please indicate.
The above three cryptic codes were formulated by a Judge named Agnihotri long ago when he provided training on the topic of conducting DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS at the Administrative Training Institute in Mysore.
As far as I recall, C in CIFADNAS stands for framing the Charge, which is the first step.
I stands for Inquiry, etc.
If no one succeeds in unraveling the mystery of these three words within a month, I will attempt to discover the same with the assistance of my former colleagues!

Dear friend,
Some good teachers use such devices to help the students understand the complex matters involved thoroughly, retain them in their minds forever, and retrieve them easily in an orderly fashion whenever the need arises. It is a matter of simplification according to the personal importance of each sequence assigned by the author concerned. Therefore, either the author of the abbreviations or the students only can decipher them exactly. If you understand the first two principles of Natural Justice, you can very well understand the concept of discipline and disciplinary proceedings in the realm of employment.

Dear friends,
Many thanks for your responses. I was able to retrieve my old notes containing the cryptic formula outlining the steps involved in initiating, conducting, and reporting in DISCIPLINARY ENQUIRY PROCEEDINGS. The deciphered formula is as follows:
'Cifdnaas' is expanded as follows:
C - Charge Framing
I - Imputations
F - Facts
D - Documents
N - Notice
A - Appointment of E.O
A - Appointment of P.O
S - Sending records to the Enquiry Officer
'Napad' is expanded as follows:
N - Notice
A - Assistance of a co-employee
P - Plea=Recording of plea
A - Adjournments
D - Documents
'Tade Quarf' is expanded as follows:
T - Trial
A - Allow further evidence
D - Defence Statement
E - Evidence of Defense
Q - Question by Inquiry Officer to the Accused Employee
A - Arguments
R - Report
F - Forwarding the findings to the Appointing Authority
I hope this explanation is beneficial for all HR professionals dealing with Disciplinary Proceeding cases, aiding in remembering the triple word formula and its expansion.
