Kashmir LG terminates Geelani's grandson from service

The government on Saturday evening dismissed two more employees from its services, including the grandson of late Hurriyat Conference leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani, on charges of threat to security of the State. Geelani's grandson Anees-Ul-Islam was posted as research officer in Sher-i-Kashmir International Convention Centre (SKICC).

"The Lieutenant Governor is satisfied after considering the facts and circumstances of the case, and on the basis of information available, that the activities of Anees-ul-Islam, research officer in Sher-e-Kashmir International Convention Centre S/o Altaf Ahmad Shah R/o 119 MIG, Green Park, Bemina, Srinagar A/p Bachpora, Srinagar, are such as to warrant his dismissal from service," reads the order issued by the General Administrative Department.

"The LG is 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 enquiry in the case of Mr. Anees-ul-Islam… ," the order says. "Accordingly, the LG hereby dismisses Mr. Anees-ul-Islam from service, with immediate effect."

Like other cases, the government hasn't given any explanation about the case, or presented a chargesheet, barring the plain order of dismissal from service.

A similarly worded order was also issued in the case of Farooq Ahmad Butt, teacher (RReT) in GMS Kathawa, Doda in Jammu division.
