Practice question
A preventive-suspension motion is based solely on a demand to punish the respondent immediately, identifying no investigation, evidence or witness-protection need under Section 31. Counsel says the mere accusation makes the order mandatory. Which is best?
- Every complaint necessarily requires preventive suspension
- The Court must apply the provision’s preventive purposes and conditions rather than treat accusation as automatic grounds
- Preventive suspension always conclusively establishes guilt
- No preventive suspension can ever be ordered
- Private revenge is the expressly stated statutory objective
