13. That apart, one must also keep in mind that IPS Officers, being members of an All India Service, would be amenable to the 2007 Rules. Section 65 of the Act of 2007 makes it clear that police personnel in the State of Assam shall be governed by the existing Discipline and Appeal Rules and other Service Conduct Rules in force, as applicable to the Indian Police Service, State Police Service and others serving in the State Police Establishment. Therefore, merely because they are deployed/deputed to work in the State of Assam, IPS Officers cannot be denied the benefit of the 2007 Rules which would be applicable across the board to their ilk serving all over the country. It would, therefore, be incorrect to castigate such IPS Officers as insisting upon a ‘Reporting Authority’ of their choice. They are merely seeking parity with their kind working in other parts of the country. It is in this context that the extant 2007 Rules would have a direct impact on the issue under consideration.
