Army chief takes govt to court over age dispute, cites 'honour and integrity'

Army Chief General VK Singh has taken his battle with the government over his age to the Supreme Court. This is the first time that any service chief has fought the government in court. Sources in the government say that while all government employees have the right to seek legal help, certain positions merit absolute trust and should not be tarnished with an adversarial relationship. The court has so far not admitted the General Singh's petition.
