Karnataka Tribunal Stays Suspension of Teachers Over RSS Event Participation
The Karnataka Administrative Tribunal (KAT) has stayed the suspension of two government school teachers, Gururaj Joshi and Annasaheb Deshmukh, who were disciplined for participating in Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) events in 2025. The suspensions, issued by the Yadgir Deputy Director of School Education, cited violations of Karnataka Civil Services Conduct Rules. The tribunal ruled the RSS event was non-political and halted disciplinary action pending further government response, with the next hearing set for October 9, 2026.
