NEW DELHI, Sept 10: A bench comprising Justices Aravind Kumar and Vipul M Pancholi in Supreme Court set aside a High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh order and directed the J&K administration to issue no objection certificate to international water sports coach Bilquis Mir and relieving order on or before September 15.
The ruling paves the way for Mir, a Physical Education Teacher in the J&K Youth Services Department, to join as Chief Coach and assist the Indian National Kayaking and Canoeing Team for the Asian Games in Japan beginning September 19.
Court also quashed the Jammu and Kashmir government's order dated June 19, 2026, which had denied her permission citing pending departmental inquiries and service conditions.
