J-K High Court Upholds Police Constable's Dismissal Over Security ConcernsPreviousNext

The Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh High Court upheld the dismissal of police constable Ghulam Mohammad Tantray, who was accused of links with a Pakistani militant, arranging a hideout, and possessing hand grenades. The court described him as a 'pawn in the hands of the enemy' acting against national interests. It also ruled that the President or Governor can terminate government employees without departmental inquiry if state security is at risk, reversing a prior order that had reinstated the constable.
