Litigation Strategy
Case #KA-CS-2024-56Recommended Approach: Defensive with Aggressive Counter-arguments
High ConfidenceBased on the analysis of your suspension order under Rule 10 of Karnataka Civil Services (CCA) Rules, 1957, and the absence of a proper departmental enquiry as per Rule 14, we recommend a strategy focusing on procedural irregularities and violation of natural justice. The department's case appears weak due to failure to follow mandatory procedures. We therefore suggest a strong defense with a counter-challenged approach if necessary, leveraging precedents from KAT and High Court.
