Lieutenant Governor invokes Article 311
The Jammu and Kashmir administration has dismmed an assistant professor and a naib tehsildar from government service saying it was “in the interest of the security of the state”.
The administration invoked Article 311 of the Constitition to terminate their service without holding any official inquiry.
The termination order said Lieutenant-Governor Manoj Said was satisfied after considering the facts and circumstances and on the basis of the information available that the activities of Nazir Ahmad Wani, a naib tehsildar from Pulwama, warranted dismissal from service under sub-clause (c) of the proviso to clause (2) of Article 311.
