Deputation in IAS

 All India Service (AIS) comprises of three civil services of India. The IAS officers recruited by the central government through Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) & their services are allotted under various state cadres. The three civil services under IAS are Indian Administrative Services (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS) & Indian Forest Services (IFoS). They are accountable to Central & State governments. The Cadres controlling authority of AIS is the union government. 

Recently, the central government has issued an order on the central deputation of Deputy Inspector General- level IPS officers. According to the order, IPS officers coming to the centre at the DIG level would no longer be required to be empanelled at that level with the union government. The existing rules, allow a DIG ranked IPS officer with a minimum experience of 14 years could only be deputed to the centre if the Police Establishment board empanelled them as DIG at the centre. The board chooses the panel on the basis of officers career & Vigilance record. Till now, only the superintendent of police level officer does not require empanelment at the centre. 

The new order makes the entire pool of DIG level officer in a state eligible for central deputation. Therefore, the order would not automatically allow DIGs to come to the centre, officers would still have to be put on the offer list for central deputation which is decided by the state & central government. 

The Ministry of Home affair release a statement in order to justifying new rules in the IAS with the aim to move at increasing the pool of DIG level IPS officer for the central deputation as there are backdrop of massive vacancies in the central police organization & Central Armed Police Force (CRPF).

The new order may be seen as a problem by many states as the centre attempt at pushing envelope further on increasing its power over officer serving in the states and resulted into the shortage of officer in the states. The new rules in the IAS is against the federalism where power & authority of central government & states  government are divided which shall not be intruded by any on them. the proposed amendment would weaken the political control over the bureaucracy in the state. It may resulted into the unwanted central & state government disputes. The central government could attack on the bureaucracy against the elected state government.

Case Laws related to Defamation in favour of ClaimantCase Laws related to Defamation in favour of Claimant. TOLLEY Vs, J.S FRY & SONS LTD – (1931) Facts The defendants were owners of chocolate manufacturing company. They advertised their products with a caricature of the claimant, who was a prominent amateur golfer, showing him with the defendants’ chocolate in his pocket while playing golf. The advertisement compared the excellence of the chocolate to the excellence of the claimant’s drive. The claimant did not consent to or knew about the advertisement. Issue The claimant alleged that the advertisement suggested that he agreed to his portrait being used for commercial purposes and for financial gain. He further claimed that the use of his image made him look like someone who prostituted his reputation for advertising purposes and was thus unworthy of his status. At trial, several golfers gave evidence to the effect that if an amateur sold himself for advertisement, he no longer maintained his amateur status and might be asked to resign from his respective club. Furthermore, there was evidence that the possible adverse effects of the caricature on the claimant’s reputation were brought to the defendants’ attention. The trial judge found that the caricature could have a defamatory meaning. The jury then found in favor of the claimant. Held The House of Lords held that in the circumstances of this case – as explained by the facts – the caricature was capable of constituting defamation. In other words, the publication could have the meaning alleged by the claimant. The Lords also ordered a new trial limited to the assessment of damages. NEWSTEAD V LANDON EXPRESS NEWSPAPER LTD, (1939) Facts: A newspaper published a defamatory article about Harold Newstead. However, another person with this name brought an action in libel. He claimed that the article had been misunderstood as leading to him. The defendant newspaper recognised that they published the article. Also, they denied that they had the intention of being defamatory of him. Consequently, the claimant argued that the newspaper was under a duty. The duty was to give a clear and complete description of the correct person. Moreover, the claimant argued that the defendants were in breach of the duty. Issues: The issue in Newstead v London Express Newspaper, was if the reasonable persons would have understood the words complained of to refer to the plaintiff. Held: The Court of Appeal stated that in accordance with the current law on libel, liability for libel does not depend on the intention of the defamer; but on the fact of the defamation. Accordingly, a reasonable man, in this case a newspaper publisher, must be aware of the possibility of individuals with the same name and must assume that the words published will be read by a reasonable man with reasonable care.
