(a) No official must trespass outside his own jurisdiction.
(b) Where duties have been deputed to a subordinate, the latter must not be continually interfered with.
(c) A subordinate ordered to do anything which in his opinion is irregular or irrelevant should expostulate with his senior. If the latter holds by his opinion, the junior must conform.
(d) Officials must be straightforward and outspoken, and not give outward acquiescence while privately criticising or hindering their superiors.
(e) Officials must not listen to suggestions from outsiders or talk with them on official business.
(f) Officials must be frank with one another, and not form cliques.
(g) No official must wilfully spread false rumors about another or lightly credit such.
(h) No official must absent himself from office without permission during office hours, or frequent the houses of others.
Resolution 88, passed some months earlier, was even more explicit:—
Officials are thereby forbidden to divulge official secrets even when witnesses in a court of law, unless specially permitted to do so; or to show despatches to outsiders. They are not allowed to become directors or managers in a public company; to accept compensation from private individuals or gifts from their subordinates; to undertake, without permission, extra work for payment; or to put to private use Government horses. They may receive honors or presents from foreign Sovereigns or Governments only with the special sanction of His Majesty.
