The order reads that Lieutenant Governor is satisfied after considering the facts and circumstances of the case and on the basis of information available that the activities of Davinder Singh, Deputy Superintendent of Police (under suspension) son of Deedar Singh of Overigund Tral, Pulwama are such as to warrant his dismissal from service.
