(b) disciplinary proceedings with a view to dismissal or reduction in rank have been or are about to be instituted against the officer or servant, and such interdiction may be made effective from such date as may be determined by the Disciplinary Committee.
(2) In deciding whether an officer or servant should be interdicted, the following factors shall be taken into account by the Disciplinary Committee:
(a) whether the nature of the offence with which the officer or servant is charged is directly related to his duties;
(b) whether the presence of the officer or servant in the office would hamper investigation; or
(c) whether the presence of the officer or servant in the office to exercise his normal duties and responsibilities may be a source of embarrassment to, or may affect the image of, the Majlis.
