The Supreme Court on Monday wouldn’t meddle with discrete postings of an Army couple, saying someone needs to proceed to serve in places like Ladakh, North-East and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
The candidate – a Colonel in the Judge Advocate General (JAG) Department, was wronged by his presenting on Andaman and Nicobar Islands from Jodhpur in Rajasthan as his better half was being shipped off Bathinda in Punjab.
He had provoked the choice to move him and his better half to isolate distant areas however the Delhi High Court dismissed his supplication and asked him and his significant other – likewise a Colonel in the Army – to continue to their recently relegated posts inside 15 days.
Senior promoter Ranjit Kumar, showing up for the applicant, said that both the officials had a four-and-half-year-old youngster and they had assumed responsibility at their individual spots. The separation among Bhatinda and Andaman and Nicobar Islands is more than 3,500 km, he stated, adding, the applicant needed to apply for deliberate retirement as a result of the exchange.
“In the event that the Armed powers state they are against joint posting in Delhi, it very well might be unforgiving yet someone needs to go to Andaman and Nicobar likewise,” the top court noted.
“In issues of posting of Army officials, we ought not meddle. In places like Ladakh, North-East and Andaman, someone needs to go,” the Bench noticed.
“In postings, especially in the Armed powers, we ought not meddle. These are hard cases. It is hard for us to state that rethink this,” the Bench stated, compelling Kumar to pull out the supplication.
The Army fought that since the couple’s marriage in 2008, they had been given three mate facilitated postings on their solicitations and “hard and fast endeavors were made to post the two of them in a similar station”.
Posting the couple at New Delhi “will be at the expense of keeping up voids at development HQs, which isn’t in authoritative interest”, it submitted.
