CHANDIGARH: Putting an end to a long-pending incongruity, the Punjab and Haryana high court has directed the Union government to purge the glaring anomaly related to ranks of major general and above whereby senior military ranks were getting a lower pay and pension than their juniors.
Even colonels were drawing more than lieutenant generals in certain cases. Justice Fateh Deep Singh directed the central government to resolve the anomaly within six months and also observed that this anomaly is adversely impacting and affecting the morale of the defence forces.
