.....309, the Government of India is now compelled to deal with many of these matters by means of non-statutory executive orders. This is neither satisfactory nor quite justifiable. 2. Before the commencement of the Constitution, the Government of India issued the Indian Civil Administrative Cadre Rules and the Indian Police Service Cadre Rules. Although these Rules, in so far as they are not inconsistent with the Constitution, are continued in force by Article 313of the Constitution, they authorise the regulation of only such items relating to the conditions of service as had already been settled.

Arrangements have also been completed recently to extend the Indian Administrative Service and the Indian Police Service schemes to the Part B States. 3. It is necessary that Parliament should.....
