criminal proceedings are instituted against the officer in any court; or

disciplinary action is taken against him with a view to his dismissal or reduction in rank, the interdiction order made under subregulation (1) shall cease to have effect from the date such criminal proceedings are instituted or disciplinary action is taken against the officer; and the appropriate Disciplinary Committee shall take such further action as it thinks fit under regulation 46.
