Recently the center and p. Appearing on the Chief Secretary of State for Bengal Appal Bandhopadhyay. The controversy appears to have eroded the very core of federalism in the constitution. This has been widely reported in the media and all those who have previously worked in the Cabinet Secretary - Government of India as well as the Secretary - Personnel Department are of the view that for the first time in post-independence history. The conduct and proceedings with the Chief Secretary of Bengal are specified in the Constitution. Many cadres have told me that the concept of federalism and the perspective in which the Indian Administrative Service has been presented and the All India Service Rules have been disregarded, so many cadre officials have told me that this incident has long-term implications. As this matter is as touching for the rulers and the public as it is for the bureaucrats, the first All India Service - IAS. The background behind the attendance and the concept with which Sardar Saheb created this service and the cadre-officer I.A.S. / IPS However, what they expected and in the present time - the relationship between the ruler and the executive needs to be described.

The service known as the Indian Civil Service (IAS) has been instrumental in strengthening the foundations of British imperialism and colonialism in the British system of government and most of its officers were British officers. During the pre-independence interim government, the British decided that now I.C. S. Was winded up and most of the officers were to return to England and the rest were given the option to go to Pakistan, thus creating a vacuum in the administration. During that period, Sardar Patel used foresight to form the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and IPS with Indian Character. (IPS) decided to create the Indian Police Service i.e. All India Service, at which time the Prime Ministers of the Provincial States (current Chief Ministers) including - B.Sc. G. Kher, Mumbai - Govindvallabh Khant, United Provinces, Siddharth Ray - Bengal Province etc. have opposed the presence of All India Service in view of their independence and autonomy of the states and as it is against the Federal Spirit, about which Sardar Understanding issues such as national unity, integrity, merger of indigenous states and especially its structure ensured that the service would be operated in consultation with the Chief Ministers of the respective provinces i.e. the state and IAS. All the officers selected in will be allotted in the state and will be taken on deputation to the center on the basis of fixed percentage i.e. the officer working in the state will not be biased in any state or province and will act impartially and accordingly the Service Act has been framed in All India. Internal Rules have been made and accordingly - from 181 to this day it is implemented as per practice and according to these laws and regulations no officer can be placed in the center without the consultation and consent of the concerned state and also the consent of the concerned officer is required. About 50% of the cadre strength of the concerned state can be sent to the Center on deputation. The condition is that the consultation and consent of the concerned state is required.

All India Service Rules of the above provisions - 12 - 3 (1) are as follows. “A cadre officer may, with the concurrence of the State Government Concerned and Central Government may be deputed for service under Central Government or other State Government or under Company, Association or body of individuals whether incorporated or not, which is wholly or Substantially owned or controlled by the Central Government or by another State Government - Provided that in case of any disagreement the matter shall be decided by the Central Government and the State Government or State Government Concerned shall give effect to the Decision of the Central Government. Thus, in view of these provisions, the consultation of the State Government is mandatory, only when there is disagreement between the State and the Center, the decision of the Center is final and the State has to implement accordingly.

W. In the case of Bengal - Chief Secretary - Appal Bandhopadhyay - his retirement age was 31/7/2071, so the Chief Minister of Bengal proposed to extend his services for three months and it was approved by the Central Government, - The late arrival of the Chief Minister of Bengal in their meeting and the submission of an application form and in which Bandhopadhyay also walked out of the meeting with the Chief Minister as the Chief Secretary, all these events are a reflection of the recent elections in Bengal and the results. But all these things are not healthy democracies but the bitterness of the relationship between the center and the state. (In order)
