Practice question
A valid Section 24 order is proposed based on strong evidence and a supported finding that continued officeholding would prejudice the case. The official says suspension is impossible unless all three listed grounds also coexist. Which is correct?
- Every listed ground must always coexist
- The statute states alternative grounds; strong evidence plus the supported prejudice ground can satisfy that part of the provision
- Only dishonesty can ever support the power
- The prejudice ground is legally meaningless
- A final conviction must precede preventive suspension
