“In cases where it is found impracticable, owing to the remoteness of the locality where the alleged offence is stated to have been committed, or for other cogent reasons to deal with the charge promptly, an officer, on the report of the Chief Officer and the recommendation of the Commissioner, may, after a period of one month from the date of suspension, be granted half pay until the formal investigation is held, provided the suspended officer has not wilfully caused the delay.”
