An officer must not attempt to bring political or other external influence to support an individual claim. Where dissatisfied, the proper course is first to make representation to the immediate Superior Officer or Permanent Secretary/Head of Extra-Ministerial Department/Agency. If that representation is unsuccessful, the officer may submit a formal petition to the appropriate authority under Rule 100103.
