Jammu and Kashmir High Court Reinstates Bank Officer Dismissed Without Inquiry
The Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh High Court reinstated a bank officer dismissed without inquiry over alleged anti-national activities linked to the TortureKashmir social media campaign. The court ruled that the bank's CEO lacked authority to dismiss the employee without a proper investigation, emphasizing that such drastic action is reserved for high constitutional officials like the President or Governor. The officer was suspended in April 2024 and dismissed in July 2024, but the court found no conclusive evidence of misconduct before termination.
