From Jayalalithaa to Amarinder Singh, chief ministers throughout the years seem to have ignored the seniority principle in choosing chief secretaries.
The position of the chief secretary is arguably the most crucial civil service post in any state. Normally, the senior-most serving Indian Administrative Service officer in the cadre is expected to be posted and officers senior to them, who are on central deputation, can be overlooked. Apart from suitability, the only statutory requirement is that the officer should be on the Apex Scale of the IAS, which is generally granted upon the completion of 30 years of service. As such, the political executive in the state ordinarily has a large pool of officers, spanning seven to eight batches of the IAS, to choose from.
Until a few years ago, seniority was the norm, unless the officer sought to be superseded had only a few months of service left, or was patently unfit for the job, on the basis of service record and reputation etc. This custom is now honoured more in the breach than in the observance.
