This study explored specific inequalities related to the scalar and Ricci curvatures of slant submersions in Kenmotsu space forms. We derived important geometric bounds and systematically investigated the conditions under which these bounds converge to equality. These findings enlarge the current setup of curvature inequalities and offer new findings on the geometric properties of slant submersions of contact structures.
