The Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill 2025 seeks to amend section 54 of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, to provide a legal framework for the removal of the Chief Minister or a Minister in case of arrest or detention in custody on account of serious criminal charges.The Act bifurcated the erstwhile State into two Union Territories; Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, and laid down the framework for governance, representation and administration in the region. The amendment stipulates that any Minister or Chief Minister who is arrested and detained for 30 consecutive days on allegations of having committed offences punishable with five or more years imprisonment, shall be removed from office. If the Chief Minister fails to resign within 31 days of such detention, they will automatically cease to hold office. Similar provisions apply to other Ministers, with the Lieutenant Governor acting on the advice of the Chief Minister.
