Delhi High Court Seeks Response on Gender Disparity in Territorial Army Recruitment
The Delhi High Court has issued notice on a Public Interest Litigation filed by Kush Kalra alleging gender discrimination in Territorial Army officer recruitment. The petition claims that since 2022, significantly more vacancies have been allocated to men—ranging from 12 to 18 per cycle—while women have been limited to a single vacancy. It challenges this practice as unconstitutional and inconsistent with a 2018 court ruling affirming women's eligibility. The court has scheduled further hearings and sought the Centre's response on the matter.
