complaint. If upon its sound discretion, the complaint is found to
be baseless or without merit, it may out rightly dismiss the same
and inform the complainants in writing, expressly stating the legal
and factual basis of its decision.
4. Valid cause of action. If the complainant states a valid cause of action, the
Committee shall forthwith inform in writing the respondent/s,

answer, the Committee shall set a preliminary conference whereby
only the parties are invited for possible amicable settlement. If no
settlement is made, the Chairman of the committee may, at his
