Defeating the objective!

SC’s judgment is aimed at unchaining the bureaucrats and allowing them to work freely.Transfering, punishing and rewarding of an IAS officer is suggested to be advised by Civil Service Board(CSB) whose recommendation, however, is not binding on the govt. CSB would be manned by working officers and headed by cabinet secretary and chief secretary in case of a state. It’s unlikely the members of CSB would go in for confrontation with the Chief Minister of a state and incur his/her displeasure. They might cite reasons that stands out as not that convincing or even not at all true, as done with IPS officer Ms. Durga Sakti Nagbal of UP who was slapped with the charge of demolishing Masjid wall, to transfer or punish a officer concerned with a view to obliging the Chief Minister. If the heads of the state trample with the recommendations of the democratic institutions like Human Rights Commission, they can ignore the suggestions of CSB too.If that be the case the objective of the apex court would be defeated.
