Selections not based on merit lead to an inefficient machinery loaded with incompetent persons which ultimately affects the quality of administration. It has to be realized that the quality of public life depends upon the quality of administration and the quality of administration depends upon the persons constituting the administration. If the administrative machinery is not efficient, progress cannot be achieved and the problems cannot be solved inspite of the earnestness of the men at the helm of affairs. Undoubtedly the Services play a key role in maintaining the stability and in achieving a higher and higher stages of progress. Therefore, all democratic countries in the world have constituted Public Service Commissions for recruiting personnel for the services of the State on the basis of merit. The framers of our Constitution have made the Public Service Commission a constitutionally created independent body and have assigned the function of making recruitments to the services of the State, exclusively to the Commissions. The underlying idea behind the constitution of Public Service Commissions is to ensure that the selections are made in a truly fair and transparent manner. The persons who head these institutions are expected to be of impregnable integrity and would discharge their constitutional functions in utmost judicious manner, sparing no room for favouritism and nepotism. With a view to ensure that they act in an independent manner, the Chairmen and Members of Commissions have been accorded autonomous status coupled with certain immunities.
