Even when there are two right options you can choose one depending on what value you favor most.. And seeing the questions of last year.. This example is at par My final solution I will complete my report and try and convince the cm the process is not politically motivated..meanwhile I will also have my senior in loop ..in case I m asked not to proceed I will demand it in writing.. Notwithstanding the fear of pending case I will proceed with suggested course of action because1) if I give in right now similar arm twisting is bound to happen in future- will be construed too flexible 2) I may be made a political scapegoat 3) I have full faith in judiciary and notion of innocent until proven guilty.. The cat wont disappear upon closing the eyes

I sincerely doubt this approach (in bold)....Powers of CM is much strong too be threatened by this argument. ...and finally it all boils down to performing your duty with uprightedness....
Identify which course of action are available to you. Examine each action’s merits and demerits. Finally, explain which course of action would you follow and why. (250 Words)
In a "catch-22" situation, I have the following courses of actions. 1. Give up and mend fences with the CM and close the investigations. Merit- no harassment,the govt's embarassment can be avoided. I will get a plum post,with othet rewards. Demerits- it will create a bad precedent, that the CM can dictate as per his whims and fancies,erode the coveted position enjoued by a civil servant of impartiality,integrity,transparency in society. Besides will cause further loss to the already strained state exchequer . 2. Inform media about the investigations and expose the CM. Merits- media will start damning the CM and may create conditions in which he may resign.I will be saved from all consequences, may increase my reputation as an impartial,fair and upright officer. Demerits- i would violate SOPs ,will cause disreputation to the chair of CM,who is the political head of the state as 'primus inter pares' 3. Will seek a transfer from current posting Merits- will get rid of all problems and live a peaceful life without being victimised. The matter will be closed and CM will not take any step against me. Demerits- it won't create a solution,rather simply a postponement of the problem,which might be detected by sn someone else,by that time it woukd have eroded all the public finances. 4. Can write to the PM,with all the reports of investigations. Merits- it would benefit only if the PM is of opposition party,otherwise the problem may come to me with a bomerang effect. 5. I will go ahead with the investigations,taking notice of every minutes,so that the guilty would not escaoe or go scot free. Merits- will uphold rule of law,that"guilty shouldnbe punished", will prevent the drain of wealth. Proper investigation may follow. demerits- there may be my character assassination,pushed to trouble,will be seen as working at the behest of my father-in-law, pending case might be reopened and create further troubles. I will follow the last step as it shall give a long term,permanent,irreversible solution,shall benefit the beneficiaries who are the strength of democracy,shall take as a point of reference by others while dealing with similar situations. with proper investigations my fairness will be proved and won't have to compromise with basic ethos of a civil servant.

I m not asking cm for written orders.. He is not bound to give it anyway.. The thing is I can't take all decisions on my own.. The "writing" has to come from my immediate senior in bureaucracy.. If he says I shouldn't proceed I will demand it in writing.. This is the outcome of post emergency era when there were too many blame games.. It's not my innovation.. Don't feel anything wrong about it

I will follow the last step as it shall give a long term,permanent,irreversible solution,shall benefit the beneficiaries who are the strength of democracy,shall take as a point of reference by others while dealing with similar situations.
with proper investigations my fairness will be proved and won't have to compromise with basic ethos of a civil servant.
