For IAS as well as State Level Class I officers.
Present Rules of Game
A) If an IAS civil servant is working honestly, he is bound to suffer injustice. Adverse entries in service record, transfer, denial of promotions etc.
B) As per present rules of game, he cannot directly approach High Court. He has to first approach Central Administrative Tribunal. (Or State Service Trubunal)
C) Generally in Service matters, no stay order is granted.
These rules B & C need to be revised by Supreme Court in order to protect honest civil servants.
I do think that some protection is needed to honest IAS officers as well as Class 1 officers in State Services.
