New Delhi: After ending gender discrimination in the issue of permanent commission and command post for female officials in defense forces, the Supreme Court seems to be interested in ensuring gender equality in universities and government managed military schools.
In a temporary order on Wednesday, the court directed that women were allowed to take the entrance examination for the National Defense Academy, which had become a male fortress from the start.
The court also attracted the center to “not adopt” a neutral policy of gender and continued with “discrimination” even though it was not approved by the court, which had passed strong observations while providing a permanent commission for female officers.
SC said the center must take a constructive view and change its policies that perpetuate such “discrimination”.
It would be better if the government took the steps itself: SCthe Bences Sanjay Kishan Kulihan and Hrishikesh Roy said it would be better if the government itself made decisions instead of the court directing it to change the policy.
Additional lawyers General Aishwarya Bhati told the bench that the decision to recruit women in service was a policy problem and there were other ways that were passed by women’s candidates recruited.
“Women are given the same opportunity in the armed forces on the road that have been opened for women’s work.
There is no violation of any fundamental rights only because of the mode of entry available for men and women to join the armed forces,” the center said.
However, the bench, not satisfied and told the center.
“Why did you continue in this direction? Even after the assessment of Judge Chandrachud expanded the horizon and expanded the permanent commission in the army to women, this was unfounded now.
We found it absurd.” Judge Kaul, who first passed his verdict as HC Delhi Judge who allowed the Commission Permanent female officer, who was later enforced by SC, said he got the impression that the army did not want to make the decision voluntarily and need the direction of the court.
He said if it was the problem, the court would give an order on this problem too.
The court then proceeded to pass the temporary commandment and said, “Given the upcoming examination and on hearing advisors for parties, we consider it according to issuing temporary directions that allow female candidates to take part in the exam scheduled for September 5, the subject to order further from This court.
“Senior advocate Chinmoy Pradip Sharma and lawyer Mohit Paul, appeared for Petitioner Kush Kalra, told the bench that women’s restrictions were not registered and trained in NDA was a violation of the basic rights of all women who wanted to join NDA.
The court then directs the UPSC to take the Korrigendum needed given the temporary command and provide a broad publicity “so the order intention is translated into the surface of the ground”.
The bench said it would also consider the petition that accused the gender discrimination in getting a ticket in the Indian Military College Rashtriya and Rashtriya and Posting a trial for September 8, the process of receiving women has begun and will be further expanded.
As far as the Indian Rashtriya military college is stated that it is a 99-year-old institution that will complete 100 years next year.
The question is whether it completes 100 years with gender neutrality or not! “Bench said Derived from the service itself.
Nevertheless, this is a welcome step by the Apex court which is in harmony with modern and forward-thinking countries throughout the world.
In the encouragement of equality, SC allows women to take the NDA exam
