[40K] Can a sufficiently high ranking officer of the Imperial Guard dismiss/relieve/discipline a commissar?

Commissars are pretty bad ass and very good at what they do. However, they're still human. Is there any circumstance where an officer of the Imperial Guard can dismiss or relieve a commissar for poor service or other reasons?

Commissars are outside the IG chain of command, so no, *technically* an IG officer cannot touch his commissar.

If a commissar is incompetent or corrupt or heretical enough, though, their IG unit might remove them from their post. This removal generally takes place on the battlefield in an unfortunate friendly fire incident.
