Within three months from March to May in 2008, three IAS (Indian
Administrative Service) officers took voluntary retirement from service (VRS)
in Uttar Pradesh. These included 1971-batch controversial IAS officer Neera
Yadav and a year junior to her, UP Chief Secretary Prashanta Kumar Mishra. But
the two took VRS for diametrically opposite reasons. Yadav took the VRS after
being chargesheeted by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in a land scam
and adjudged one of the three most corrupt officers by the UP IAS Association,
while Mishra, a 1972-batch UP cadre IAS officer, known for being an upright
officer, left the job within less than a year after being appointed Chief
Secretary in the State due to his differences with then Chief Minister Mayawati
over alleged corruption.
