New Delhi: Breaking News! The Delhi High Court passed a landmark judgement, granting permanent commission to women officers in the Indian Air Force (IAF) and Army. The ruling made sure that both and men and women will have the same terms of employment. Â Till date, women used retire from the service after 14 years. They were also not eligible for pension and other financial benefits, while the men were eligible for full tenure after five years in service. Â In September 2008, the government revised the rules to give women the same tenure as men. However, it applied only to the new recruits. The Delhi HC judgement came as a major victory for women in IAF and Army. |

In the above case, the services could themselves have introspected and brought in policy to resettle, retire or provide permanent service to the lady officers since after all they have gainfully utilised their services for 14 years.
Not doing so and further commenting, negatively on a situation widely recognised as unfair by society is not helping their cause any.
