The research article presents rebuttal to the assumption and misinterpretation based commentary of Shah (2015).
- •
Shah (2015) assumed the geometry of central Kashmir fault (CKF) as perfectly planar with pure-strike slip.
- •
Alam et al. (2015) reported parallel, oblique, and divergent motion along the projected curvilinear strike of the CKF.
- •
Shah (2015) completely misinterpreted the geomorphic, geodetic, seismic, and geologic data used by Alam et al. (2015).
- •
Kashmir basin is a classic example of pull-apart systems in zones of continental convergence.
