Delhi High Court Pauses Discharge of Women IAF Officers Challenging Permanent Commission Denial
The Delhi High Court has paused the discharge of women Indian Air Force Short Service Commission officers who challenged the denial of Permanent Commission. The court extended interim protection previously granted by the Supreme Court, directing the officers to continue in service until their petitions are heard by a roster bench scheduled for July 1. The officers argued that discharge orders issued on June 3 were premature, as both the High Court and Armed Forces Tribunal were on holiday and had not yet considered their applications.
