Last month, the J&K administration had terminated six government employees from their services on the account of “posing a threat to State’s security” according to the amended Article 311(2)(c), which does not require any departmental inquiry except for a police or an official report.
The terminated employees were identified as Hamid Wani, a teacher from Bijbehara, Anantnag; constable Jaffer Hussain Butt from Kishtwar; Muhammad Rafi Butt,a junior assistant under the Roads and Buildings department from Kishtwar; Liyaqat Ali Kakroo, a teacher from Baramulla; Tariq Mehmood Kohli, a range officer in the forest department from Poonch; and Showkat Ahmad Khan, a constable from Budgam.
One of the six orders issued noted, “The Lieutenant Governor is satisfied under sub-clause (c) of the proviso to clause (2) of Article 311 of the Constitution that in the interest of the security of the state it is not expedient to hold an enquiry in the case of Jaffer Hussian Bhat, a constable. The L-G is satisfied after considering the facts and circumstances of the case and on the basis of the information available that the activities of Butt are such to warrant his dismissal from the service,”
