Karnataka Tribunal Stays Suspension of Teachers for Attending RSS Events
The Karnataka State Administrative Tribunal (KSAT) has stayed the suspension of two teachers, including assistant teacher Gururaj Joshi, who were suspended for participating in Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) events in October 2025. The tribunal ruled that the RSS is not a political party and that no government order prohibits officials from attending such events, so their participation did not violate the Karnataka Civil Services Conduct Rules. The suspension orders cited dereliction of duty, but the tribunal has directed the government to respond by October 9.
