NEW DELHI: After two IPS officers, it was the turn of a senior IAS officer to get sacked on grounds of non-performance, in a rare action taken by the Government in ‘public interest’.
K Narasimha, a 1991 batch IAS officer of Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Mizoram and Union Territories (AGMUT) cadre, was served with a ‘premature retirement’ order without any notice.
The Appointments Committee of Cabinet approved the decision under Rule 16 (3) of All India Services (Death-Cum-Retirement Benefits) Rules-1958 and allowed him to get three months pay and allowances in lieu of notice, official sources said.
He has been sacked for alleged non-performance and also due to corruption charges against him, they said.
The action came after a departmental review of the officer’s service allegedly found him unfit for the job.
In a similar action, the Home Ministry had yesterday sacked two senior IPS officers for alleged non-performance. (AGENCIES)
