Supreme Court Orders Review of Permanent Commission Denial to Woman Coast Guard Officer
The Supreme Court directed the Centre to review its denial of permanent commission to Coast Guard officer Priyanka Tyagi within two weeks, criticizing the Indian Coast Guard's policy as vague and arbitrary. The bench, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, emphasized that lack of gender-friendly infrastructure should not justify denying permanent commission or humiliating women officers. Attorney General R Venkataramani noted a recent policy allowing permanent commissions for women, but the court urged prompt and fair consideration of Tyagi's case.
