Hi Mr. A.K.MALIK

It's good that you are doubting. Doesn't matter if it's retired
Government servant. We are all living on hope here. Have you never
heard about the draconic: THE ALL INDIA SERVICES (DISCIPLINE AND
APPEAL) RULES, 1969?

Could rule number 1A be behind the silence of doubting service personnel?

Please have a look:

(1A) If the Government of a State or the Central Government, as the case
may be, is of the opinion that a member of the Service has engaged himself
in activities prejudicial to the interests of the security of the State, that

Government may—

(a) if the member of the Service is serving under that Government,
pass an order placing him under suspension, or
(b) if the member of the Service is serving under another Government,
request that Government to place him under suspension, till the
passing of the final order in the case:
Provided that, in cases, where there is a difference of opinion—
(i) between two State Governments, the matter shall be referred to the
Central Government for its decision;
(ii) between a State Government and the Central Government, the
opinion of the Central Government shall prevail.
