The top court was hearing a plea by 34 women Army officers who have alleged junior male officers are being considered over them for promotions to perform combat and commanding roles in the force.
The Centre on Tuesday told the Supreme Court a special selection board has been convened from January 9 to consider around 246 women Army officers for promotion.
First, do not announce the results for the male officers who were considered in October (for promotions) until you announce their (women s) results, says the bench
The Supreme Court on Friday asked the army to put its "house in order" saying that it feels that it has not been "fair" to the women officers who have alleged delay in promotions after being granted permanent commission.
