Mohd Shafi Pandit, a renowned retired IAS officer and former Chairman of the Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission (JKPSC), passed away in a Delhi hospital today.

Family sources said that he was admitted there for treatment some days ago.

Pandit had a distinguished career, serving as Additional Chief Secretary of Jammu and Kashmir and was known for his contributions to the state’s administration.

As the first Muslim IAS officer from Jammu and Kashmir, Pandit broke barriers and paved the way for others to follow in his footsteps.

During his tenure as Chairman of JKPSC, Pandit ensured a fair and transparent selection process, earning him respect across the board .

His commitment to the state’s development was evident in his efforts to clean up the Dal Lake in Srinagar, showcasing his environmental consciousness.

Pandit’s passing is a significant loss to the J&K, and his legacy will be remembered for generations to come. His dedication to public service, administrative acumen, and commitment to social causes will continue to inspire young bureaucrats and citizens alike.

Khurshid Ahmed Ganai, retired IAS officer in his condolence message said that Kashmir lost a great son.

In a post on X, Congress leader jairam Ramesh wrote, “My good friend of many years. Mohammed Shafi Pandit, has just passed away. He was a 1969-batch IAS officer who occupied important positions with distinction, both in J&K and at the Centre. After retirement, he devoted himself to various public causes and emerged as a leading voice of civil society. Soft-spoken and extremely gentle by nature, he epitomised the glorious composite heritage of J&K and was a role model for youth from the Valley to join the civil services.”

“Feel sad and shocked. We will miss Mohammad Shafi Pandit Saheb for a long long time. He was unmatched as an officer and a human being. Kashmir has lost a great son,” he said. (KNS).
