V/S
STATE OF TAMIL NADU Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The democratic polity requires an honest and efficient Civil Service. The roots of the Civil Service go back a long way stated to have arisen from the ancient Egyptian Civilization flourishing as early as 3,000 B.C.

(2.) We do not consider it necessary to advert to the individual facts of each case. The substratum of the challenge is the same and are thus putting forth the necessary facts required for adjudication of the matter.

(3.) The State Government and the persons appointed have strongly rebutted the allegations, justifying the appointment. It has been averred that the appointment was made by the Governor of Tamil Nadu on aid and advice by the State Government under Art. 316(1) of the Constitution of India for a period of six years or till they attain the age of 62 years, whichever is earlier.
