Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Armed Forces Tribunal, affirming the selection process for Army Commanders under the Army Act, 1950. The Court found that the selection was made in accordance with the eligibility criteria and that no pending disciplinary actions against the selected officers violated any procedural norms. The appeal by Lieutenant General Ravi Dastane was dismissed, confirming the appointments of Lieutenant General Dalbir Singh and Lieutenant General Sanjiv Chachra as valid.
