J&K Lecturer, Suspended After Article 370 Argument In Supreme Court, Reinstated

Zahoor Ahmad Bhat's suspension surfaced when the Supreme Court was hearing petitions challenging the abrogation of Article 370.

The Jammu and Kashmir government today revoked the suspension of a college teacher who had recently argued against the scrapping of Article 370 in the Supreme Court.

The suspension of Zahoor Ahmad Bhat, a senior lecturer of political science, surfaced when the Supreme Court was hearing petitions challenging the centre's 2019 move.

The Supreme Court had sought to know if the suspension was linked to his court appearance and indicated it would take a dim view if this was the case, suggesting it might be seen as "retribution".
