Now, Sir, it is well and good that this proviso is being incorporated herein, but I feel, that in the place of the word ‘may’, there should have been the word ‘shall’. The proviso should have definitely provided for consultation with the Union Public Service Commission. As I interpret it, it is liable to mean that the President may or may not make rule providing for consulting the Union Public Service Commission. For, it says, ‘Provided that the President may be rule require……..’. It does not mean that in all cases the Public Service Commission must necessarily be consulted. I would, therefore, have very much wished that it should have been made obligatory that the views of the Public Service Commission shall always be taken into consideration.
