New Delhi, May 22 (UNI) The Supreme Court has criticised the Indian Navy for not granting Permanent Commission (PC) to Commander Seema Chaudhary, a woman officer from the 2007 Short Service Commission (SSC) batch in the Judge Advocate General (JAG) branch, despite clear directions given earlier by the top judiciary.
A bench comprising Justice Surya Kant and Justice N. Kotiswar Singh took serious note of the Navy’s inaction, making it clear that the court’s previous direction to “consider” the officer’s case could not be used as an excuse to avoid action.
“Enough is enough… we give you one week to grant her Permanent Commission,” Justice Kant stated sternly during the hearing.
