The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed the pleas of several women short service commission (SSC) officers seeking grant of Permanent Commission (PC) in the Army and held that the Annual Confidential Report (ACR) evaluation process was flawed and discriminatory in nature. Terming the ACR evaluation process as "arbitrary and irrational", the apex court said that the criteria for grant of PC to women officers ignored the achievement and laurels brought by them to the Indian Army. A bench headed by Justice D Y Chandrachud said the process by which women officers were evaluated did not address the gender discrimination concern raised in the verdict delivered by the apex court last year. The top court delivered the verdict on a batch of pleas filed by several women officers who had sought compliance of its February last year directions to the Centre for grant of permanent commission, promotions and consequential benefits. In its landmark verdict delivered on February 17 last year, t...

A women naval SSC officer retires in 10 years, whereas one with a permanent commission is entitled to serve for four more years, making it a total of 14 years. (Photo | HT) The Supreme Court (SC) on Tuesday ruled in favour of permanent commission to female officers in the Indian Navy and asked the government to treat men and women equally in the armed forces. The apex court bench headed by Justice D.Y. Chandrachud scrapped the statutory bar on giving permanent commission to women and said that the government cannot discriminate against women. “They (women) can sail with same efficiency as male officers," said the bench also comprising Justice Ajay Rastogi. The division bench also rejected the Centre’s stand that sea sailing duties cannot be granted to Short Service Commission (SSC) women officers in the Navy because its Russian vessels do not have washrooms for them. “A hundred and one excuses are no answer to the constitutional entitlement to dignity, which attaches to every indi...

Nikita Kaul Dhoundiyal, the widow of Major Vibhuti Shankar Dhoundiyal, has cleared the Short Service Examination and interview and is now waiting for the merit list to join the Indian Army. A year ago the 35-year-old Major Vibhuti Dhoundiyal laid down his life after an intense gunbattle with the terrorists in Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir. His wife is now following his footsteps and is ready to don the uniform as per reports. Their marriage was not even a year old when 28-year-old Nikita received the news of her husband’s demise. In a heart-wrenching message bidding him farewell, she asked people to be strong and not sympathetic. With moist eyes, she had stood in front of the coffin covered with the tricolour and had said, “You said you loved me, but the fact is you loved the nation more. I am really proud. We all love you. The way you love everyone is entirely different because you sacrificed your life for the people who you may have never met, but still you decided to give your life for...
