Srinagar, Oct 30: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Thursday said that employee termination cases in Jammu and Kashmir should be decided through courts and not on suspicion.

Speaking to reporters in Handwara, CM Omar, per news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), said that every government employee deserves a fair chance to defend themselves before any punitive action is taken.

“I have always maintained that termination should be done by the court. Everyone should get a chance to defend themselves”, he said.

He added that many employees who were terminated later return to their posts after being cleared, showing that such actions are often based on flawed judgments. “It would be better to use the court process to punish the real culprits. Action taken on suspicion harms everyone”, CM said.
