In cases involving immovable encroachment, the Enforcement Officer (EO) must submit the initial report to the Hearing Officer via the SDEO (Senior Divisional Enforcement Officer). This hierarchical process ensures that the report is properly reviewed and validated by a supervisor before being escalated to a Hearing Officer for formal proceedings. The SDEO acts as a critical administrative filter and ensures due process.

• The Board is a high-level governing body and is not the direct channel for initial report submissions from EOs to Hearing Officers.
• The term Authority is too general; the SDEO represents the specific administrative channel within the Authority.
• Submitting the report Directly to the Hearing Officer would bypass the necessary supervisory review and administrative protocols, which is typically not permitted for such serious matters.
