The top court on Monday told the Centre that if it cannot grant permanent commission to eligible women short-service commission officers of the Indian Coast Guard (ICG) then it will.
The court was hearing a petition filed by a woman officer of the Indian Coast Guard seeking a grant of permanent commission to eligible women short-service commission officers in the force.
Attorney General R Venkataramani appearing for Centre told the court the Coast guard is distinctly different from the Navy and Army. A board has been set up for the purpose and it needs structural changes. He told the court that he will ask for an affidavit to be filed in court.
