A Public Information Officer has received an application
under RTI Act. Having gathered the information, the PIO
discovers that the information pertains to some of the
decisions taken by him, which were found to be not
altogether right. There were other employees also who
were party to these decisions. Disclosure of the information
is likely to lead to disciplinary action with possibility of
punishment against him as well as some of his colleagues.
Non-disclosure or part disclosure or camouflaged
disclosure of information will result into lesser punishment
or no punishment.
The PIO is otherwise an honest and conscientious person
but this particular decision, on which the RTI application
has been failed, turned out to be wrong. He comes to you
for advice.
The following are some suggested options. Please evaluate
the merits and demerits of each of the options:

The PIO could weight the consequences of disclosing
the information truthfully, including the effect on his
career, and reply in a manner that would not place
him or his career in jeopardy, but at the same time a
little compromise can be made on the contents of the
information.

You are working as an Executive Engineer in the
construction cell of the Municipal Corporation and are
presently in-charge of the construction of a flyover. There
are two Junior Engineers under you who have the
responsibility of day-to-day inspection of the site and
reporting to you, while you are finally reporting to the
Chief Engineer who heads the cell. While the construction
is heading towards completion, the Junior Engineers have
been regularly reporting that all construction is taking place
as per design specifications. However, in one of your
surprise inspections, you have noticed some serious
deviations and lacunae which, in your opinion, are likely
to affect to safety to the flyover. Rectification of these
lacunae at this stage would require a substantial amount
of demolition and rework which will cause a tangible loss
to the contractor and will also delay completion. There is
a lot of public pressure on the Corporation to get this
construction completed because of heavy traffic congestion
in the area. When you brought this matter to the notice of
the Chief Engineer, he advised you that in his opinion it is
not a very serious lapse and may be ignored. He advised
for further expediting the project for completion in time.
However, you are convinced that this was a serious matter

Sivakasi in Tamil Nadu is known for its manufacturing
clusters on firecrackers and matches. The local economy
of the area is largely dependent on firecrackers industry.
It has led to tangible economic development and improved
standard of living in the area.
So far as child labour norms for hazardous industries like
firecrackers industry are concerned, International Labour
Organization (ILO) has set the minimum age as 18 years.
India, however, this age is 14 years.
The units in industrial clusters of firecrackers can be
Mains GS Question Bank 163

classified into registered and non-registered entities. One


typical unit is household-baled work. Though the law is
clear on the use of child labour employment norms in
registered/non-registered units, it does not include
household-based works. Household-based work means
children working under the supervision of their parents/
relatives. To evade child labour norms, several units project
themselves as household-based works but employ children
from outside. Needless to say that employing children
saves the costs for these units leading to higher profits to
the owners.
On your visit to one of the units at Sivakasi, the owner
takes you around the unit which has about 10-15 children
below 14 years of age. The owner tells you that in his
household-based unit, the children are all his relatives. You
notice that several children smirk, when the owner tells
you this. On deeper enquiry, you figure out that neither
the owner nor the children are able to satisfactorily
estabilish their relationship with each other.

Suppose one of your close friends, who is also aspiring
for civil services, comes to you for discussing some of the
issues related to ethical conduct in public service. He raises
the following points :
(i) In the present times, when unethical environment is
quite prevalent, individual attempts to stick to ethical
principles may cause a lot of problems in ones career.
It may also cause hardship to the family members as
well as risk to ones life. Why should we not be
pragmatic and follow the path of least resistance, and
be happy with doing whatever good we can?
(ii) When so many people are adopting wrong means and
are grossly harming the system, what difference would
it make if only a small minority tries to be ethical?
They are going to be rather ineffective and are bound
to get frustrated.
(iii)If we become fussy about ethical considerations, will
it not hamper the economic progress of our country?
After all, in the present age of high competition, we
cannot afford to be left behind in the race of
development.
(iv) It is understandable that we should not get involved in
grossly unethical practices, but giving and accepting
small gratifications and doing small favours increases
everybodys motivation. It also makes the system more
efficient. What is wrong in adopting such practices?

You are a no-nonsense, honest officer. You have been
transferred to a remote district to head a department that is
notorious for its inefficiency and callousness. You find
that the main cause of the poor state of affairs is the
indiscipline of a section of employees. They do not work
themselves and also disrupt the working of others. You
first warned the troublemakers to mend their ways or else
face disciplinary action. When the warning had little effect,
Mains GS Question Bank 175

you issued a show cause notice to the ringleaders. As a


retaliatory measure, these troublemakers instigated a
woman employee amongst them to file a complaint of
sexual harassment against you with the Womens
Commission. The Commission promptly seeks your
explanation. The matter is also publicized in the media to
embarrass you further. Some of the options to handle this
situation could be as follows :
(i) Give your explanation to the Commission and go soft
on the disciplinary action.
(ii) Ignore the Commission and proceed firmly with the
disciplinary action.
(iii)Brief your higher-ups, seek directions from them and
act accordingly.
Suggest any other possible option(s). Evaluate all of them
and suggest the best course of action, giving your reasons
for it. (200 Words) 20

Suppose you are the CEO of a company that manufactures

department. You have submitted your bid for the supply

of this equipment to the department. Both the quality and


cost of your offer are better than those of the competitors.
Yet the concerned officer is demanding a hefty bribe for
approving the tender. Getting the order is important both
for you and for your company. Not getting the order would
mean closing a production line. It may also affect your
own career. However, as a value-conscious person, you
do not want to give bribe.
Valid arguments can be advanced both for giving the bribe

risking the loss of the order. What those arguments could

Rameshwar successfully cleared the prestigious civil
services examination and was excited about the opportunity
that he would get through the civil services to serve the
country. However, soon after joining the services, he
realized that things are not as rosy as he had imagined.
He found a number of malpractices prevailing in the
department assigned to him. For example, funds under
various schemes and grants were being misappropriated.
The official facilities were frequently being used for
personal needs by the officers and staff. After some time,
he noticed that the process of recruiting the staff was also
not up to the mark. Prospective candidates were required
to write an examination in which a lot of cheating was
going on. Some candidates were provided external help in
the examination. Rameshwar brought these incidents to
the notice of his seniors. However, he was advised to keep
his eyes, ears and mouth shut and ignore all these things
which were taking place with the connivance of the higher-
ups. Rameshwar felt highly disillusioned and
uncomfortable. He comes to you seeking your advice.
Indicate various options that you think are available in
this situation. How would you help him to evaluate these
options and choose the most appropriate path to be
adopted? (250 Words) 20

Every District Collector wants the local newspapers to run
positive stories about his works in his district. Few,
thankfully, hide behind a fake name to write only positive
articles.
Aman, DM of a famous district, felt the major local paper,
was not writing enough positive articles about him, so he
decided to submit his own stories, under a fake name.
The paper encourages "citizen journalists" to submit stories
to get a more local angle. "I thought about all the people
just reading about crime in our city and nothing better,"
said the DM.
Although he was not paid for his articles, he established a
relationship with the paper, a television Website, and a
weekly paper - all by using e-mail and phone conversations.
Using his alias, he wrote more than a dozen articles. In
some he quoted himself. He did not apologize for his
actions.
However his alias was a real person. DM had used the
real photo to convince the publishers. Now the real person
is hurt and enraged. He accuses DM of lying to the public.
(a) Do you think DM should resign?
(b) Should the government take any action, such as a
censure?
(c) Is this action serious enough to prompt a recall?
(d) Can the public trust an official who has misrepresented
himself? (100 words each) 4x10=40

A. Devanand is working as a clerk in Collector's office. Due
to staff shortage, Dev also performs the task of raising
flag over the office building every morning and taking it
down every evening, although it is not part of his official
job description.
One day a criminal turned politician Madan Puri dies.
Years ago, Devanand's best friend was murdered during a
riot allegedly orchestrated by Madan Puri. Nonetheless,
State secretariat passes an order to all District collectors,
to keep National flag at 'half-mast' over their offices, to
mourn the death of the Mr. Madan Puri.
Devanand sees this news on TV, gets angry with such
mockery of our national flag. He decides not to go to office
next morning and keeps the door key of rooftop with
himself. He is confident, "no formal punishment can be
given to me, because this was not part of my official duty.
At most Collector sahib will reprimand me informally but
I don't care because Madan Puri killed my best friend."
Do you think Devanand has made the right decision? Yes/
No/Why?

B. Anand is running an NGO to help street children. He
receives government grant of Rs.2 lakh for a project to
teach the 'out of school' children, who work at tea-stalls,
do boot-polishing etc. A year passes, but Anand managed
to utilize only 50,000 rupees from the grant. Despite his
best efforts, he couldn't convince many poor children or
their families to join his NGO's program.
Mains GS Question Bank 201

As per the grant rules, Anand has to return all the unspent
money back to government by the end of March 31st. But
his colleague Pran suggests following:
1. If we honestly return Rs.1.5 lakh back, then
government officials will think we are amateur,
ineffective NGO and they'll substantially reduce our
grant for next year or even worse- they'll not give us
any project next time.
2. We should take help of CA Prem Chopra to manipulate
our account books and show majority of the grant was
utilized for education.
3. Many other NGOs do the same thing-there is no
problem- nobody will raise any objection, as long as
we give 20% of the grant to SDM in charge of this
project.
4. Although it sounds unethical but we won't use this
money for personal needs, we'll use it on street children
only. Hence our act is fully ethical and moral.
What should Anand do with the money?

Do you agree with following statements? Justify your
stand: (300 Words)
(a) According to Aristotle, a flourishing human life
consists of courage, honor, goodness, generosity,
growth and resilience. But in the modern times, it is
not possible or practical to lead to such a flourishing
life.
(b) Virtues are acquired by habituation. We are not born
virtuous, we acquire them from our parents, teachers,
friends and interactions with society. Therefore it is
not correct to blame a corrupt cop, rapist sadhu or
fraud businessman entirely for their lack of virtues. 20

Prem Chopra runs a company that offers private security
guards, CCTV, burglary alarm and other security devices.
DCP Devanand learns that everytime after a theft or
robbery takes place, Police Inspector Pran advices the
victim and bystanders to install security devices from Prem
Chopra's company to make their home and shops secure
from criminals. Pran even tells them, "When you go to
Prem Chopra's office, tell him I've sent you, he'll give you
special discount." Dev confronts Pran about this matter.
Pran justifies his action by saying:
1. Yes, I take money for Prem Chopra to endorse his
security products for homes and offices.
2. No, I'm not doing anything unethical because
a. I use this money to pay my informers and keep a
check on criminal elements. I don't spent this
money on myself or my family.
b. Even municipal buses and railway-wagons have
advertisements, then why is an endorsement by a
city official unethical or illegal?

Robanjit Kaur, 23-year-old daughter of ASI Ravinderpal
Singh was returning home after her IELTS coaching class
when Shiromani Akali Dal leader Ranjit Singh Rana and
his goons started teasing her. She called up her father
Mr.Ravinderpal Singh, an ASI with Punjab Police. When
her father arrived and confronted the group, a heated
argument followed and Rana pulled out his pistol and
began firing at both father and daughter. Both received
bullet injuries and father collapsed.
Even as Ms. Kaur struggled to shift her father into a vehicle
to take him to hospital, Rana and his gang returned with a
rifle and shot Ravinderpal Singh again in full public view.
Ms. Kaur said to media, "Rana kept kicking and hitting us
in full public glare. I cried and pleaded for help but
everyone ran away. Even when the ambulance came, I
had to lift my father into it as no one came to help me."
End of news.
A Sociologist remarks: "Our government has not set up a
system to encourage civilians to fight against criminal acts.
Why should someone risk injury or their life to save another
if one's life or livelihood is endangered? Government needs
to enact a new scheme named after you know who, to
reward any civilian with Rs.10 lakh, a government job
and a 3 BHK flat, if he prevents a crime in a public place."
Do you believe announcing big financial rewards to
pedestrians who stand up against a criminal, will change
the situation? Does or can courage have a price tag? Yes/

DCP Anand marries Sub inspector Rosie. In the office,
Rosie doesn't directly report to Anand but Anand has
responsibility for signing off on her annual evaluation.
Although Anand doesn't give any preferential treatment
to Rosie but one of her colleague, Prem Chopra, com-
plained several times to the DIG Pran: "Anand saab always
gives highest ratings to his wife and I'm always given
average ratings despite my best performance in criminal
investigations." DIG conducts inquiry, doesn't find
anything against Anand. Later Anand officially reprimands
Prem Chopra for this unprofessional behavior.
Frustrated Prem Chopra narrates this incident to his wife
Bindu. Bindu decides to take matters in her own hands,
writes an anonymous e-mail to the local press, informing
how Rosie hasn't legally divorced her first husband Marco,
yet she is staying with DCP Anand and gives vivid details
of their 'adulterous' live-in relationship.

Rita reporter, an expert on such masala news, starts giving


ball by ball commentary in her newspaper about Rosie's
past by interviewing her college friends, neighbours,
relatives etc. Everybody in the town starts gossiping about
this. Anand asks his IT expert friend Guru Dutt to
investigate. Guru Dutt digs out that e-mail originated from
Prem Chopra's home computer. What should Anand do:
Reprimand Prem Chopra once more? Suspend him for
indiscipline? Sue him for defamation? Is doing nothing an
option? (250 Words) 15

Saurabh Agarwal is the environmental compliance
manager for a small plastics manufacturing company. He
is currently faced with a dilemma on whether or not to
spend money on a new technology that will reduce the
level of a particular toxin in the wastewater that flows out
from the back of the factory into a lake. The factorys
emission levels are already within legal limits. However,
Saurabh knows that environmental regulations for this
particular toxin are lagging behind scientific evidence. In
fact, a scientist from the university had been quoted in the
newspaper recently, saying that if emission levels stayed
at this level, the fish in the lake and rivers in the area might
220 Chanakya Publications Pvt. Ltd.

soon have to be declared unsafe for human consumption.


Further, if companies in the region dont engage in some
self-regulation on this issue, there is reason to fear that the
government backed by public opinion may force
companies to begin using the new technology and may
also begin requiring monthly emission level reports (which
would be both expensive and time consuming). But the
companys environmental compliance budget is tight.
Asking for this new technology to be installed would put
Saurabhs department over-budget, and could jeopardize
the companys ability to show a profit this year. The
following are some suggested options. Evaluate the merits
and demerits of each of the options
1. Saurabh should focus on her companys financial
performance and profits and forget the environmental
issue as the compliance budget is already tight.
2. As the emission levels of the company are within legal
limits, Saurabh should wait for new governmental
regulations first and only after that should think about
taking any action.
3. Saurabh should proactively report the matter to the
higher management and ensure proper measures are
taken but still profits of the company should receive
the utmost priority.
Also indicate (without necessarily restricting to the above
options), what would you advise, giving proper reasons.

Aditya Shastri, secretary in the Ministry of Defence, is a
respected and admired bureaucrat. Aditya, who is at the
end of his career, recently lost his elder son and wife in an
accident and ever since, he has kept a low profile and has
grown more fond of his other son who now just finished
his graduation from an ordinary institution in the capital.
In a deal involving direct government to government
contract with a major arms supplier, Aditya is tasked with
speeding up the contract agreement and finalize the deal.
The manufacturer, who will benefit immensely if the
process is expedited, on many occasions has personally
contacted Aditya and expressed his frustration in the slow
movement of files in the ministry.
Adityas younger son wants to study in a worlds most
reputed university for which he needs a lot of money and
good references, but money is the constraint. The person
222 Chanakya Publications Pvt. Ltd.

from the company who is in touch with Aditya comes to


know about this and in one of his meetings with Aditya,
he assures him to look after his sons entire higher
education costs from admission to placement to a well
paying job provided he speeds up the finalization of 10
the deal.
Because of unexpected political circumstances, the defence
minister now wants to scrap the deal. From his experience,
Aditya senses that the present controversy is temporary
and somehow the deal will be inked later. Aditya who has
few months of service left with him is in a dilemma. He
doesnt want to disappoint his son and at the same time he
wants to be in good terms with the minister. The deal, if
signed, doesnt harm anyones interests. The products are
of world class and are sure to add value to the countrys
defence arsenal.
What should be Adityas course of action in this situation?

Raman Singh is the engineering manager for the City Road

safety. At least 1 person has died along a given stretch of
road each of the last 7 years by crashing into a roadside
tree. Many other accidents have occurred. However,
Mains GS Question Bank 223

investigation has shown many accidents were due to


speeding above 45 Km/hr. Nevertheless, accidents have
resulted in media uproar. Raman recommends that the road
be widened, resulting in cutting down few (approx 30)
old trees. Environmental groups protest, and file a petition
signed by approx 100 people to save the trees.
Discuss how Raman Singh should proceed at this point.

Would you revise his score to 90% realizing his career

of percentage and rigid rules of the college? (250 words) 20
