The Supreme Court of India has ordered the Centre to grant permanent commission to women officers in the Army, citing discrimination and unequal treatment. Background: The case began in 2010 when a petition was filed by a group of women officers, challenging the Army's policy of not granting permanent commission to women. Parties: The petitioners argued that the policy was discriminatory and violated the principles of equality, while the government contended that it was necessary to maintain the operational effectiveness of the Army. Legal issues: The court examined whether the policy was discriminatory and if it violated the principles of equality. Court observations: The court observed that the policy was discriminatory and that women officers were entitled to equal treatment. Significance: This judgment has significant implications for women officers in the Army, who have been fighting for equal treatment for years. The court's decision is expected to impact the lives of thousands of women officers who are serving in the Army.
