Arshnoor Kaur vs Union Of India

The Supreme Court examined the validity of restrictions imposed on the number of women joining the Judge Advocate General (JAG) branch under the Army Act, 1950. The court analyzed whether such restrictions violate the rights of women under constitutional provisions. It held that the notification permitting women to join the JAG branch under Section 12 of the Army Act is valid, and restrictions on their numbers are justified. The judgment emphasizes the importance of gender equality balanced with military discipline and operational requirements.
