'Denial Of Command Appointments To Women In Army A Retrogade Step Affecting Their Dignity & Bravery', Lady Officers In SC [Read Written Submissions]

Live Law  

The reasons cited by the Central Government for not giving command appointments to women in Indian Army have been criticized as 'highly regressive' in the written submissions filed by women officers in the Supreme Court. "It is highly submitted that the justification/reasons stated in the Note handed over on behalf of the Union of India with regard to denying Women Officers command appointment is not only highly regressive buy also completely contrary to demonstrated record and statistics", stated the written submissions submitted by Senior Advocate Aishwarya Bhat in the case. There has never been any occasion of soldiers/men having refused or not accepted the command of women on account of their perceived 'rural background, with prevailing societal norms'" To rebut the Centre's arguments on physical weaknesses and unsuitability of women in command officers, the written submissions have referred to examples of women officers such as Squadron Leader Minty Agarwal, Divya Ajit Kumar, IAF officer Gunjan Saxena etc, who have received gallantry awards for their bravery during combat operations. On February 25, 2019, the Centre had taken a policy decision to grant Permanent Commission to Short Service Commission Women Officers in 8 streams of Indian Army, Army Service Coprts, Army Ordinance Corps and Intelligence), in addition to existing 2 streams of Judge Advocate General and Army Educational Core.
