Mr Shukla had made derogatory comments on the great leaders and big icons of the country in his book.Taking serious note of this, the UP government had suspended the PCS officer for voilating Civil Services code of conduct.The officer had appealed in the High Court over his suspension, to which the court had given stay.UNI
