The Supreme Court said on Friday the Army's approach of denying women officers empanelment as colonel was "arbitrary", and directed the authorities to reconvene the special selection board within a fortnight for their promotion.
A bench headed by Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud deplored the attitude to find a way to end the just entitlements of women officers.
“Such an approach does a disservice to the need to provide justice to the women officers who have fought a long and hard battle to receive just entitlements.”
