Law of public services ( An exhaustive manual of Public services law from Per-recruitment state to Post Retirement stage in the light of upto date case -Law.).

The Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985 which came into force from 1st of November, 1985 is a veritable landmark in the development of Public Services Law in our country. The scope of the Act is lucidly expounded in this work which covers every aspect of the Law of Public Employment and Service under the Central Government, State Government, Municipal or local bodies, Public Sector undertakings, Nationalised Banks, Railways, Universities etc. The voluminous Case-Law on this vast subject is brought under logical control and dealt with exhaustively in over 50 Chapters covering the minutest points. In 1985 particularly, many contro versial decisions have been rendered by the Supreme Court. Every care is taken to deal with them critically so that they may be reconsidered in future from the new angles of approach suggested here.

From the stage of advertisement for an office till the post-retirement stage-recruitment, reservations, probation, Confidential reports, Confir mation, Pay, allowances, Increments, benefits of service, seniority, trans fers, joining time, leave rules, deputation, promotion, lien, Conduct rules, major penalties, minor penalties, discharge, removal, dismissal, Compul sory retirement, suspension, departmental Enquiries, domestic enquiries, Principles of Natural Justice, Constitutional safeguards, Officiating Service, Temporary Service, Reversion, Pension, Gratuity, Bonus, Remedies before Tribunals, Departmental Appeals, Writ remedies et.c, etc.,-step by step in the career of a Public Servant, the law is stated lucidly and authorita tively in the ipsissima verba of the learned Judges.

The relevant Rules and Regulations, Constitutional provisions, Statu tory provisions, including Fundamental Rules and Supplementary Rules are all given in extenso for ready reference. Standard forms prescribed by the Government are also included. Comparative Tables and a Copious Index enable the busy lawyer to pick and choose the relevant case with the greatest ease. We trust this book will continue to meet the exacting requirements of the legal profession which, while it is highly critical, is also imbued with a keen sense of appreciation for sincere work of fellow members of the Bar.
