‘Don’t hit morale’: Not the time to release SSC officers, SC tells Army

Amidst the ongoing ‘Operation Sindoor’ against Pakistan, the Supreme Court has temporarily halted the discharge of 69 Short Service Commission Officers, including 47 women. The court emphasized the need to maintain morale during the Indo-Pak tensions, suggesting their skills could be utilized elsewhere. The decision follows arguments about discriminatory practices in granting Permanent Commissions, especially given recent rulings on women’s eligibility.
