This was about 35 or so years ago. After passing IAS preliminary examination, I was taking training for main examination at Ahmedabad.
I lived in a hostel room along with two others.
One of the three of us cleared main examination and become IAS.
I didn't try second time and chose to join Law.
After one year, the IAS friend married.
To set an example, he married in Civil Marriage Registrar office. To set an example to people.... about not to spend too much money in marriages and dowry etc.
Today, he is at highest post in Government.
The point : Some IAS officers are the best among us. They work without seeking credits. It is hard times for them to maintain ethics in corrupt political environment.
Supreme Court should lay down some laws under Art.142 at earliest for such honest IAS officers.
