“The teacher was provided enough opportunities to resume her duties which she failed to avail and another show-cause notice was served to her by DSEK on 18-05-2021 which she responded on 07-06-2021, but it was found unsatisfactory and unsubstantiated,” reads the order.

“Pursuant to the decision of the committee, the teacher at GHS Tarzova in Baramulla district is hereby removed from the service of the State in terms of Article 128 of JK Civil Services Rules (Volume I) of 1956 and rule 30(vii) of JKCCA rules 1956,” reads the DSEK order.
