Even at
the cost of stating the obvious, it must be reiterated that, in a democratic
set-up, the political executive must take decisions and the permanent
bureaucracy tender its considered advice without fear or favour. Institutional
integrity requires the two components of the executive to discharge their
respective roles in the best interests of the people. It must also be
recognised that in the last few decades this well-acknowledged principle has
been given the go-by. The principle of political neutrality of the bureaucracy
has been compromised in several instances in the recent past.
