The J&K Lieutenant Governor’s administration on Wednesday terminated the services of four employees, including president of the Doctors Association of Kashmir, for “posing threat to State’s security” under Article 311, which requires no departmental inquiry except for a police or an official report.
“Whereas, 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 Dr. Nisar-Ul-Hassan, Assistant Professor (Medicine), SMHS Hospital, Srinagar, are such as to warrant his dismissal from services,” reads the order.
The dismissal order said the L-G was satisfied under sub-clause (c) of the proviso to clause (2) of Article 311 of the Constitution of India that in the interest of the security of the State, it is not expedient to hold an inquiry in the case of Dr. Hassan. “The L-G dismisses Dr. Hassan with immediate effect,” the order said.
