Supreme Court Orders Reinstatement of War Widow Priyanka Saxena in Indian Air Force
The Supreme Court of India has ordered the Indian Air Force to reinstate Squadron Leader Priyanka Saxena, a former officer who left service in 2013 to support her family and became a war widow after her husband died in a MiG-21 crash in 2021. The court invoked Article 142 of the Constitution to allow her re-induction, recognizing her prior 10 years of service and unique circumstances. The ruling is a one-time relief and not a precedent for other cases.
