Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court, while addressing the need for reforms in civil services, invoked Article 32 of the Constitution of India to consider the establishment of an independent Civil Service Board at both the Centre and State levels. The Court emphasized the importance of fixed tenures for civil servants to ensure stability and independence, referencing recommendations from the Hota Committee (2004) and the 2nd Administrative Reforms Commission (2008). The Court held that the creation of such a board would enhance the integrity and fearlessness of civil servants without undermining the executive's authority, thereby issuing notices to various State Governments for their views on the matter.
