 IAS interested in other posts!

 BENGALURU: The government is violating All India Services (AIS) rules by giving IAS officers responsibility for posts that could be handled by other cadres. It also broke the rule that such posts should be given to IAS officers.

 Officers who have risen from lower level positions in the department have technical knowledge and experience. Irrigation, Public Works, Energy Department Secretary, Corporation Managing Director posts were given to Chief Engineers of respective departments. There is also an allegation that an unwritten rule has been created that such posts are reserved for IAS officers.

 Among the administrative posts in the state, 163 posts of senior rank are reserved for IAS officers. AIS Rule R8(2), 11(R1)) clearly mentions the post in which IAS officers should hold. 25% of the IAS officers appointed to these posts i.e. only 40 posts can work in non-scheduled, ex-cadre. However, this number is 129 in the state.

 40% of the IAS officers allotted to Karnataka can go to Central service on deputation. That means, 65 people are allowed to go. However, this number has not crossed 25.

The important posts of heads of various departments, corporations, boards under the purview of the state government have been identified as ex-cadre posts. In these posts, the number of officers of senior rank cannot exceed 40. If, however, the period cannot continue for more than six months. The rule states that if there is an imperative to proceed, the permission of the Central Government is required.

 "IAS officers have continued in cadre posts as well as ex-cadre posts for years. They does not want to go to central government posts, they holds many posts including corporation-board. Some hold two-three ex-cadre posts along with the cadre post. Due to this, non-IAS officers are missing the opportunity to assume higher posts and get promoted. A senior official who did not want to be named informed that since it is the IAS officers who make the administrative rules in the state government, the chief minister and the minister are not aware of the AIS rules and their violations.

 The state government is deputing IAS, IPS, IFS officers through ex-cadre to its subordinate departments, corporation-boards and authorities. He is not needed in all posts. There is no guideline on what basis they are being appointed. If there is this guideline, IAS officers are also covering up the request to publish it', he complained.

ACS post beyond the rules!

 According to AIS rules, there should be two additional chief secretaries. However, there are eight ACSs in the state government. As soon as January comes, all these years of service are over and they get promoted and become ACS. However, it is not guaranteed whether it is allowed or not. Officials said that six ACSs are in that post beyond the rules.

'Occupying is not right in all positions'

 IAS, IPS and IFS officers have their own posts. No one else can go to those positions. Likewise, it is not right for them to occupy unnecessary posts. It is illegal to appoint IAS officers to the environment sector department, corporation and authorities. This is clearly stated in the order of the suit filed by me in the High Court regarding the appointment of the Chairman and Member Secretary of the State Pollution Control Board. Government should properly utilize the potential of IAS officers. Anjaneya Reddy said that all posts should be stopped from IAS, IPS and IFS.
