Material for Ethics paper 2 on favouritism

 Home Affairs O.M. No.41/2/55(II)-Estt.(A) dated 23rd April, 1955, instructions were issued emphasizing the need for Government servants, especially those holding positions of trust and responsibility, remaining not only honest and impartial in the discharge of their duties but also having the reputation of being so. Despite these instuctions, it is not uncommon that complaints of favourtism or illwill shown by officers in supervisory positions towards their subordinates or other members of public are received every now and then. 2. While reiterating the instructions issued in the Ministry of Home Affairs OM referred to above, it is again stressed. that a Government servant must be impartial and must not show undue favour or illwill in his official dealings. If a Government servant is found to misuse his official position or to abet and connive at improper and illegal acts, he would render himSelf liable for disciplinary action for violation of Rule 3 of the CCS(Conduct) Rules, 1984. -
