Clause 28

The Authority may reprimand, reduce in rank, retire, dismiss or punish in some other manner a person transferred to the service of the Authority under section 23 for any misconduct or neglect of duty, committed prior to the appointed day whilst he was in the employment of the Government, which would have rendered him liable to be reprimanded, reduced in rank, retired, dismissed or punished in some other manner if he had continued to be in the employment of the Government and if this Act had not been enacted.
