Order for 28 women officers of the army to leave the army by September 12, know what is the whole matter

New Delhi
The fight for the Permanent Commission of Women Officers in the Indian Army is still going on. Following the order of the Supreme Court, the Army had set up a special board of permanent commission for 615 women officers, many of whom have been given permanent commission. But the women officers who have not got the permanent commission allege that the army did not fully comply with the decision of the Supreme Court. 28 women officers of the army have now approached the Armed Forces Tribunal for justice. The army has ordered these women officers to leave the army by September 12. Tomorrow i.e. on 23 August, its hearing is in the Armed Forces Tribunal.

A woman officer said that the army considered giving permanent commission only to the first five years of our service and refused to give permanent commission on that ground. Whereas the consideration should have been done according to the overall profile. We have gone to the Armed Forces Tribunal with the same appeal. He said that looking at our record, we got extension after first five years of service and then after 10 years of service. If we were unfit for service, we would not have reached here. Most of the 28 women officers who have appealed to the Armed Forces Tribunal have more than 20 years of service.

The woman officer said that there are 100 women officers who have not been given permanent commission by the army. The results of 72 have been withheld on different grounds and we 28 women officers have been given only 12 September to leave the army. He said that on July 14, the results of the board came and on July 15, the army issued a letter to us to leave the army by September 12.

He said that in general, whenever one is about to retire in the army, he is given enough time to prepare himself for the future, to do some resettlement course so that he can settle further. But in our case this was not done either. He said that after fighting a long battle of more than 10 years in the Supreme Court, the Army agreed to give permanent commission to women officers on the orders of the court and still justice is not being done completely.

The Army issued a statement last month itself saying that 147 more women officers have been given permanent commission. It was only after the order of the first court that the Army had set up a special board for women officers and gave a permanent commission. Some of the women officers who had dropped out in this screening were directed by the court to look into their case again. After which 147 more women officers were given permanent commission. In this way a total of 615 women officers were considered, out of which 424 have been given permanent commission. According to the Indian Army, women officers who were considered for permanent commission but did not succeed, would also be entitled to pension after completing at least twenty years of service.
