Abstract
After partition, the civil service in Pakistan at center came to be known as “All Pakistan Civil Service” (APCS) or “Central Superior Services” (CSS). These services have been playing a key role in policymaking in the country since its very beginning. Given their role and character, much has been said and done about them. Almost every government whether civilian or military tried to introduce its own civil service reforms. Whatever the scope of these reforms might have been, it remains to be found whether these reforms affected the independence of civil service and paved way for political interference in civil service’s domain making them succumb to politicians’ illicit demands leaving no room for them to object or oppose in addition to causing trouble to the dissidents in the form of demotion, suspension, dismissal and transfer to unwanted places. This entire study revolves around this theme and involves subjective as well as objective analysis of the historical facts in order to establish the truth.
