Bare Act

The Jammu and Kashmir Government Servants (Held in Detention) Act, 1956

This Act sets rules for government workers in Jammu and Kashmir who were detained under security laws before it took effect. It applies specifically to those held for more than two months or others kept under preventative detention for extended periods. The legislation treats their time in custody as if they were removed from service or were on valid leave, ensuring they are credited with that time if they return to work. This process allows the state to maintain security measures while respecting the civil service status of those temporarily detained employees.
