The government has terminated their services by invoking Article 311 of the Constitution under which no inquiry is conducted before sacking.

Feroz Ahmad Lone of the Prisons Department and Javid Ahmad Shah, principal of the Government Girls Higher Secondary School at Bijbehara, have been terminated from service for allegedly actively working with terrorist outfits, they said.
