Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of systemic discrimination against women in the armed forces, particularly in the context of granting Permanent Commission (PC) to women officers. The court emphasized the need for equality and non-discrimination in the selection process, referencing the earlier judgment in Babita Puniya. The court directed the Union of India to implement measures ensuring that women officers are evaluated fairly and granted the same opportunities as their male counterparts.
