#Delegation of Authority

Karnataka High Court upholds KSRTC's right to delegate representation before the SC/ST Commission, ruling that the Managing Director's personal appearance is not mandatory under Circular No. 1186. The judgment reinforces administrative efficiency while balancing statutory obligations, setting a precedent for public bodies in similar disputes.

Madras High Court affirms that an officiating officer vested with 'full power' under Fundamental Rule 6 is legally empowered to impose major penalties, including dismissal, under the CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965. The ruling clarifies that delegation of authority in disciplinary proceedings is valid even when exercised by an officiating officer, reinforcing service law compliance for government employees.
