Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Tuesday dismissed three government employees over alleged terror links, citing security concerns and invoking Article 311(2)(c) of the Constitution, which allows termination without an inquiry in the interest of state security.
The employees sacked include Malik Ishfaq Naseer, a selection grade constable in the J&K Police; Ajaz Ahmed, a school teacher; and Waseem Ahmad Khan, a junior assistant at Government Medical College, Srinagar.
An official order issued by the General Administration Department said the LG was “satisfied” that the activities of the employees warranted dismissal and that holding an inquiry was “not expedient in the interest of the security of the State."
" The Lieutenant Governor is satisfied after considering the facts and circumstances of the case and on the basis of the information available, that the activities of Malik Ishfaq Naseer, Sg. Constable in Jammu and Kashmir Police Department, S/o Malik Naseer Ahmad, R/o Malikpora, Khahgund, District Anantnag are such as to warrant his dismissal from service," the official letter of dismissal stated.
