New Delhi, December 10, 2022 (PPI-OT):The Indian Supreme Court has asked the Army to put its “house in order”, saying it feels that it has not been fair to the women officers who have alleged delay in promotions after being granted permanent commission on the directives of the top court in 2020. A bench, comprising Chief Justice D.Y Chandrachud and Justice P.S Narasimha, was hearing a plea of 34 women Army officers who have alleged that junior male officers are being considered over them for promotions to perform “combat and commanding roles” in the army.

“We feel that you (army) have not been fair to these women officers. We are going to pass a peremptory order on Tuesday. You better set your house in order and tell us what you are doing for them.” “First, do not announce the results for the male officers who were considered in October (for promotions) until you announce their (women’s) results,” the bench said.

The bench, which has now posted the plea for passing the orders on Tuesday, said, “Two things, which you will have to do now. One, in pursuance of the SB III which were held in October for male officers, no male officer shall be posted until their (women) SB III is complete.”
