On a reservist being recalled to active service, if the training centre commandant feels the necessity of a short duration refresher training and time is available for such training the same may be organised before these personnel are despatched to the units or reinforcement camps.
209. Failure to Attend When Called Up—- When a reservist fails to attend when called up for service or muster the OC reservists will institute enquiries. Unless a satisfactory explanation is forthcoming the man will be struck off the effective strength of the reserve.
He will not be discharged from the service and may, it subsequently apprehended, be tried by court-martial or by the civil authorities for an offence under the Indian Reserve Forces Act, 1888, Section 6. Should his absence be due to a cause which renders his retention in the reserve undesirable, the OC reservists will take steps for his immediate discharge under the appropriate item of the table annexed to Army Rule 13. Should his absence be due to sickness, the OC reservists will arrange for him to be medically examined at the military hospital or reserve centre whichever is nearest his home in accordance with the Indian Reserve Forces Rules, 1925, Rule 8. If the reservist is found to be unfit for field service he will be brought before a medical board for discharge under the appropriate- item of the table annexed to Army Rule 13. A reservist who has been ordered to attend for medical examination and fails to do so, will be struck off the effective strength of the reserve. He will not be discharged from the service and may, if subsequently apprehended, be tried by court-martial or the civil authorities for an offence under the Indian Reserve Forces Act, 1888, Section 6.
