"If You Can't, We Will": Top Court Warns Centre On Woman Officer's Plea
Giving an ultimatum to the Centre on the issue of granting permanent commission to women Coast Guard officers, the Supreme Court today said "women cannot be left out" and "if you do not do it, we will do it". "All these functionality etc argument does not hold water in 2024. Women cannot be left out. If you do not do it, we will do it. So take a look at that," Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud told the Centre's counsel, Attorney General R Venkataramani. The Centre's counsel said he will ask the Coast Guard to file an affidavit.
