“Finally Justice done” says relieved
K. Siva Prasad who was exonerated of any wrong doing by the height authorities
of Country, both Supreme Court of India and Prime Minister of India.
After 10 years of bitter
struggle and humiliation, Siva prasad feels that these are perils of working in the Indian Administrative
Service (IAS). He feels that apart from maintaining highest integrity, Civil
Servants should cultivate the habit of recording the reasons for taking a
particular decision as these decisions can be questioned when circumstances
change. Only a reasoned order can sustain scrutiny of investigating agencies
and judiciary. He said that his own episode reinforces his conviction that
bonafide decisions will stand test of time. He agrees that ten years is a long
period to sustain such kind of pressure but he believes that it should be for a
reason. Refusing to blame anyone for this humiliation, he said philosophically
that struggles come to teach us something which is otherwise not possible to
learn.
Many of his colleagues were
happy to hear about his exoneration. Some of them were of the opinion that
officers are left to defend themselves when such situations come- which is part
of life of a civil servant, but Siva prasad shown courage to face this
situation and this needs to be emulated by others.
Another officer elaborated
that officers working involves taking decisions and not all will be happy to
the decision. Anyone adversely affected by the officer's decision will try to
file a complaint to show his unjustified resentment which gives officers
sleepless nights.
