In a temporary relief for 72 women Army officers, the Supreme Court has asked the government to not relieve any of them from their services until the next hearing of the case. The Supreme Court has also asked the government to explain the reason behind their disqualification from permanent commission.
"None of these officers should be relieved from service until the next hearing," the Supreme Court told the government. The matter will be heard again on October 8.
A two-judge bench of Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice BV Nagarathna, who is in line to become the first woman Chief Justice of India, was hearing the matter.
Senior lawyers V Mohana, Huzefa Ahmadi and Meenakshi Arora - representing the women officers - told the court that the disqualification was against the court's previous judgement in March and a "gross violation".
