Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Shah Faesal, who resigned in 2019 and was detained for over a year after Article 370 of the Constitution ceased to operate in Jammu and Kashmir, has been reinstated by the Union Government.
Mr. Faesal, who had founded the J&K People’s Movement (JKPM), a political party in March 2019, had moved a petition in the Supreme Court against the government’s decision on Article 370, which is pending.
Mr. Faesal, a topper of the 2010 UPSC examination, was detained at the Delhi airport on August 14, 2019 when he was on his way to the U.S.
