    Case Summary: WP/22599/2025 The High Court of Karnataka referred the matter to a larger bench due to conflicting precedents on compliance with Section 9(3) of the Karnataka Lokayukta Act, 1984. The Tribunal had set aside a five-year pension withholding penalty imposed on two retired engineers (respondents 4-5) for unauthorized construction violations, finding non-compliance with Section 9(3) requirements. The court found divergent Division Bench decisions—one holding such compliance mandatory, another upholding proceedings despite Deputy Registrar (not Lokayukta) forwarding documents—creating substantial questions of law requiring larger bench consideration on proper interpretation of the Lokayukta's statutory notice requirements. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
