Jasbir Kaur & Ors vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of the uniform for members of the Indian Military Nursing Service (IMNS), established under The Indian Military Nursing Service Ordinance, 1943. The Court held that the Chief of Army Staff has the authority to prescribe uniforms under Section 11 of the Ordinance, and the modifications made to the dress code were within the powers conferred by the Ordinance. The Court dismissed the challenges to the dress code based on alleged violations of Articles 14 and 21, affirming that the IMNS operates under specific regulations distinct from the general provisions of the Army Act.
