IAS officers who are least bothered about the court’s orders and are not doing their duty must be stripped of their posts, observed the Madras high court.
The court made the observations while setting aside the Secretary of Municipal Administration’s order in cutting down the pension of an employee.
The issue pertains to TV Pallanee, working as the Commissioner of Tambaram Municipality, who was served a memo for executing emergency work to a tune of Rs 83,920 without calling for any tenders.
