Capturing of technical departments by non technical bureaucrats

I have a query that can a non technical person be a head of technical department just because he is an IAS. Most of the technical departments in state government such as District Development Authorities, Power etc. have an IAS as the VC or MD who sits over experienced and senior technical persons without having any technical know abouts and thus ensuring that right decisions are not been taken for the developmnent of people. Also there is no fixed rule defined for giving these posts to bureaucrats. If the revenue of authority is high then it is given to a senior IAS eg. Noida Authority and if revenue is less it is given to a PCS or Junior IAS eg. Saharanpur Authority. The country is fast becoming slave to ego of bureaucrats

Hi! Thanks for the qiestion!

You can move an application regarding the same in the District Court of the jurisdiction. Although many PILs are going on over such cases but the Govt. seldom takes anystep to dethrown their princely officers, without any regards to the technical or general knowledge that they possess. However, if you engage a good lawyer and move against it, this can be a huge step towards a better system. The petition should be moved not only against one department but all and a proper system should be made. There are such guidelines in the books of laws, however, the lies between them are not clear and no proper attention is paid. 

All the best for the same!
