For example, while promotion of casteism is not covered under any specific Conduct Rules, casteist behaviour can be interpreted as \u201cunbecoming of a member of the Service\u201d under Rule 3(1).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">On the other hand, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Rule 4(1) of the AIS Conduct Rules<\/strong><\/span> is more specific.

Infact, recently a Calcutta HC sitting judge took VRS and then contested the 2024 General Election from WB. This puts a lots of doubt in the minds of the citizen as far as their functioning while they were CS or PS.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Rule 5(4)<\/strong> <\/span>states, \u201cNo member of the Service shall canvas or otherwise interfere with, or use his influence in connection with, or take part in, an election to any legislature or local authority.\u201d While members can hold personal political beliefs, these rules restrict the degree to which they can act on them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Rule 7<\/strong> <\/span>of AIS Rules states, \u201cNo member of the Service shall, in any radio broadcast or communication over any public media or in any document published anonymously, pseudonymously or in his own name or in the name of any other person or in any communication to the press or in any public utterance, make any statement of fact or opinion, \u2014 Which has the effect of an adverse criticism of<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">any current or recent policy or action of the Central Government, or<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">any current or recent policy or action of the State Government; or<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">which is capable of embarrassing the relations between the Central Government and any State Government; or<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">which is capable of embarrassing the relations between the Central Government and the Government of any Foreign State.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">However, civil servants are allowed to express their opinion on official files and other official documents and can even talk to the media during field postings.
