Srinagar, May 27: The Jammu and Kashmir High Court Bar Association (JKHCBA) on Tuesday removed its Vice President Mubashir Majid Malik and General Secretary S. Jeetender Singh from both their posts and basic membership, citing “unauthorized actions and conduct prejudicial to the interests of the Association.”
According to an official order accessed by JKNS, both office-bearers were earlier served a show-cause notice on May 21 for organizing events without the approval of the Core Members and for allegedly engaging in activities that were damaging to the Association’s objectives, unity, and reputation.
The General Body of JKHCBA, after holding a detailed meeting, unanimously resolved to remove the duo with immediate effect for violating the bylaws of the Association.
“Mr. Mubashir Majid Malik is formally removed from the position of Vice President… and from basic membership,” the order stated.
“Mr. S. Jeetender Singh is formally removed from the position of General Secretary… and from basic membership,” it added.
Both Malik and Singh have also been directed to hand over all files, official documents, and records belonging to the KAA/JKHCBA—including the membership register—within two days. The Association has warned that failure to do so may result in legal action for recovery of official property.
The order, signed by the Joint Secretary of JKHCBA, emphasized that the step was necessary to preserve the integrity and functioning of the legal body.
