Munir ahmad news: Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh High Court have issued notice to the Union Home Ministry (MHA) and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in response to a writ petition filed by former CRPF constable Munir Ahmed. Munir is challenging his dismissal from service after marrying a Pakistani woman.
Justice Javed Iqbal Wani passed the order after hearing the initial arguments in the petition filed through advocate Ankur Sharma. The court has asked the Ministry of Home Affairs and CRPF to reply before the next hearing on June 30.
Munir Ahmed told his dismissal arbitrary
Munir Ahmed, who has worked in CRPF till May 2, 2025. He argues that his dismissal was ‘arbitrary and manmaouji’. He argues that he had followed all the procedures and repeatedly informed his senior officials about his intention to marry his cousin Meenal Khan, a Pakistani citizen whose family came from Bhalwal Tehsil of Jammu in 1947.
Munir applied for the first time in 2022
His application was first presented in 2022 with objections in January 2023. However, official correspondence in 2023 and 2024- including CRPF Inspector General and Certification of the then Director General- has confirmed that Ahmed had informed the department as per the rules established.
Despite this, Ahmed was shifted to the 41st Battalion in Bhopal in March 2025, where his wife’s Pakistani origin was also mentioned in the official posting diary. A termination order was issued in May 2025.
Munir Ahmed presented recommendation letters of BJP leaders
To support his petition, Ahmed has presented recommendations of senior BJP leaders. Rajya Sabha MP Ghulam Ali Khatana in February 2025, Foreign Minister S.K. Writing a letter to Jaishankar requested immediate visa approval for Ahmed’s wife. In February 2024, a similar letter was sent to the then Minister of State for Home Ajay Kumar Mishra by Jammu-Riyasi MP Jugal Kishore Sharma.
The case brings out the legal and procedural complications faced by security personnel in cross -border marital matters. It is expected that the upcoming hearing of the High Court will set an example for similar cases in future.
