They may also be transferred to a Division on another Railway adjoining their parent Railway, if they make a request to that effect. The ticket checking staff, who have been so transferred out of the existing Division on complaints of corruption and later exonerated or awarded a penalty of censure should not be brought back to the parent Division, even if they so desire.

The review will be done personally be the Gms and the powers in this regard should not be delegated to any other authority. Where the transfer has been ordered at the instance of the Board, a reference to the Board is necessary.
