1. In today's times, it has become clear that attempting to define the

administrative role as separated from politics simply isolates administrators
from a highly differentiated populace in a country like India and discourages
them from facing the implied substantive political role they play. Critically
evaluate. 10

4. You are posted as a District Collector in one of the districts in India. It has
been brought to your notice that a structure has been built by few members
of a religious community on the public land without getting due
permissions. In keeping with the guidelines of the Supreme Court of India,
disallowing the construction of any permanent religious structures on public
land, you are contemplating its removal. However, the leaders of the
community in question have requested you to permit the structure saying
that it is for the period of month long religious festival only. Moreover they
say that there is no other religious place nearby where community members
can celebrate their festival. Your seniors and the political leader of the area
also support their views. However you are skeptical that after the festival is
over, it may not be easy to remove the religious structure from the public
land due to the involvement of community members at large.
(1) Perform an objective and subjective analysis of the case.
(2) What will you do in such a situation?

5. Mr. X worked in the human resources department that was interviewing

applicants for a top job in a widget company. After reading many
applications, one stood out way ahead of the others. Then he realized that
he knew the applicant, Mr. Y. They had hung out together when they were
teenagers. Mr. Y had been a wild kid and once was arrested for shoplifting
and the possession of drugs. Mr. Y had completed mandatory counseling
and, as far as Mr. X knew, Mr. Y had straightened out his life and had done
well during the last twenty years. Mr. Y hadn't indicated in his application
that he had once been arrested and Mr. X feared that the company would
never hire someone with a police record, no matter how minor or how long
ago the offence was. Do you favor Mr. X revealing the information? 10
