पर्यायी उत्तरे :

The correct answer is Option B (Statements (a), (c) are correct, (b) is false.).

Key Points:
• All India Services Act, 1951 & Article 312:
• Statement (a) is CORRECT: Under Article 312(1), Parliament may by law regulate the recruitment, and the conditions of service of persons appointed, to any All-India Service.
• Statement (b) is INCORRECT: Section 3(1) of the All India Services Act, 1951 clearly states that the Central Government may make rules for the regulation of recruitment and conditions of service only after consultation with the Governments of the States concerned. The claim that it can be done 'without consultation' is factually and legally wrong.
• Statement (c) is CORRECT: Because All India Services officers occupy key administrative posts in the states while remaining subject to final disciplinary control of the Centre, administrative experts and commissions describe them as an instrument of Union control over the states.
• Therefore, statements (a) and (c) are correct, while (b) is false.
• Key Takeaway: All India Services Act 1951 mandates central consultation with state governments before framing recruitment or service rules.
