In any democratic country is it open to handover the state administration in the hands of officers who themselfs face serious criminal changes ? Shouldn’t these officer be removed immidiately from the posts to restore the trust of the general public in govt. administration. Why central govt. and Apex court of india is overlooking this serious issue.
