Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Armed Forces Tribunal's decision directing the implementation of the Dynamic Assured Career Progression (DACP) Scheme for officers of the Army Medical Corps, citing the need for equal treatment under the scheme as per the Central Government's approval. The Court emphasized that the DACP Scheme should be applied to AMC officers, as it has been implemented in other departments, and the delay in its application was detrimental to their interests. The appeals by the department against the Tribunal's orders were dismissed, affirming the Tribunal's directive for timely implementation of the DACP Scheme.
