The Armed Forces Tribunal has asked the Indian Air Force to let them leave and join the civil service within two weeks.
In a case where the Indian Air Force officials were not allowing jawans who had cleared the UPSC civil services examinations and state level civil services exams, to quit service and join as a class I officer, the Armed Forces Tribunal has asked the IAF to let them leave and join the civil service within two weeks.
The Principal Bench of the Armed Forces Tribunal headed by Justice Rajendra Menon also asked the Indian Air Force to change their rules and conditions for granting permission to air warriors for applying for grade A services exams outside the force.
The case was filed by Corporal Ayush Maurya and Sergeant Kuldeep Vibhuti through their counsel Ankur Chhibber as Maurya has cleared UPSC exams for 2021 while Vibhuti has cleared Bihar government's state-level exams.
In the plea, Mr Chhibber said his client had stated that he tried to apply online for permission but could not do so as only those personnel are allowed who have the 'A' category in the skill grade.
