Srinagar, July 3: High Court today stayed the transfer order of senior Police officer Aftab Ahmad Kakroo.
Kakroo, AIG Personnel and Rajeshwar Singh, SSP, HR, CID Headquarters were transferred last week. An order issued by the Home Department reads: “Rajeshwar Singh SSP HR, CID Headquarters is transferred and posted as AIG personnel PHQ, vice Aftab Ahmad Kakroo who has been transferred and posted as SSP HR, CID Headquarters vice Rajeshwar Singh.”
However, Kakroo through his Counsel Advocate Faisal Qadri challenged the Government order on two counts. One that he is about to retire in next three months and can’t be transferred at the fag end of his career. Second that according to Police Rules his transfer order is premature as he has not completed three years on the present posting.
Justice M K Hanjura today stayed the Government order of transfer of Kakroo and issued notice to Government.
