Service Law of India
The All India Services Act, 1951, regulates the recruitment and conditions of service for persons appointed to the All India Services, which are common to both the Union and the States.
This Act defines “All-India Service” to include the Indian Administrative Service, the Indian Police Service, and other services specified under Section 2-A.
Service matters form an integral part of the Indian legal framework, governing the rights, duties, and conditions of service for government employees, ensuring that the functioning of public service remains efficient and fair.
