Rule:Preliminary report to b finalized within 10 days of accident

8.1 Preliminary report by the Inspector of Accidents/ Inquiry Officer should be finalized within ten days of the accident as stipulated in the appointment order and in the format of ICAO and provided in procedure manual for Aircraft Accident/Incident investigation of DGCA. It shall contain the requisite information including any safety hazard, either in human factor, Aircraft factor and/or any other relevant factor that is prima facie evident during the early stages of investigation such as lack of piloting proficiency if any or any unwarranted disregard of safety requirements, in case these are obvious to enable framing and implementation of immediate corrective safety measures.

In short the inspector should have finalised the preliminary report bu Jun 2. That didn't happen. So, the inspector has broken a rule. He is liable for the appropriate penalty.
