Yogendra Kumar Singh vs Union Of India

The Supreme Court addressed appeals filed by Short Service Commission Officers (SSCOs), predominantly women, challenging the denial of Permanent Commission (PC) in the Indian Navy. The Court examined the fairness and transparency of the selection process for granting PC after years of service. The case involved intervention applications which were allowed, and the Court emphasized the need for equitable treatment of SSCWOs and similarly placed male officers. The judgment underscores the importance of non-discriminatory career progression policies within the armed forces.
