Supreme Court Orders Fresh Review of Woman Navy Officer's Permanent Commission Claim
The Supreme Court ordered the Indian Navy Selection Board to reassess Lieutenant Commander Seema Chaudhary's claim for Permanent Commission, setting aside the April 2024 denial. The court found the board erred by overemphasizing earlier non-recommendations despite her favourable Annual Confidential Reports and promotions. It directed a fresh review within six weeks, emphasizing that satisfactory performance and prior promotion eligibility should support her Permanent Commission claim. The Navy had previously denied Permanent Commission to female short service officers, prompting legal challenges.
