The Indian government has dismissed Padma Jaiswal, a 2003-batch officer of the Arunachal Pradesh-Goa-Mizoram-Union Territories (AGMUT) cadre, from her role as Special Secretary in the Administrative Reforms Department of the Delhi government due to corruption allegations. The charges date back to her tenure as Deputy Commissioner of West Kameng district in Arunachal Pradesh, where she faced accusations of misappropriating government revenue and misusing her official position. Jaiswal was initially suspended in April 2008, but her suspension was lifted in October 2010. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) initiated disciplinary proceedings, which were complicated by a Central Administrative Tribunal ruling that questioned the MHA's jurisdiction over AGMUT officers. However, the Delhi High Court ruled in favor of the government, allowing the disciplinary process to continue. The MHA subsequently recommended her removal, marking a rare instance of a major penalty against an IAS officer, which underscores the government's commitment to accountability in public service.
